It was only a sunny smile and little it cost in the giving but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.

狸谷のタヌキの焼き物たち 2009年07月31日、京都の狸谷山不動院に多数置かれているタヌキの焼き物たち。 この不動院に安置されている咜怒鬼（たぬき）不動明王の名前に「タヌキ」という音が入っているため、参拝客がタヌキを置き始めたらしい。また「タヌキ→他抜く→他を抜く」という事から、商売繁盛やスポーツで勝つという願いを込めて参拝する人々が多いとの事。 咜怒鬼（たぬき）不動明王は 「鬼を叱る」といわれるほど大変険しい表情をされていることから、悪鬼・悪霊退散、あらゆる災難を取り除いてくれる として信仰されているようです。 そこから「他を抜く」まで発展させる日本の言葉遊び。日本のそういうところ嫌いじゃないです。 参考：ほっこり京都生活 Ceramic Ornaments of Raccoon 07/31/2009, ceramic ornaments of Japanese raccoon in Tanukidanisan Fudouin-temple in Kyoto. This temple has Ācala or Fudō-Myōō named Tanuki, which coincides with the sound of the Japanese name for raccoon. Because of that people started placing a ceramic ornament of it. Also, the sound of Tanuki can be interpreted as Ta-nuki, which can mean passing(nuki) others(ta). So many visitors pray for prosperity in their businesses and victories in their competitions. There are a lot of plays on words in Japanese culture like this. I think it is cool! Reference(Japanese)：ほっこり京都生活
