. tanuki 狸 - mujina 狢 － racoon dog, badger legends .
Once an old hag came by the tea shop of an old man and asked the way to the temple Zenko-Ji in Nagano.
After a few days she was back, quite exhausted. When the old man gave her some sake to relax, she became very tired and fell asleep. In her sleep she revealed her true form - a tanuki. The old man wanted to catch her alive and went to get some help.
But by the time they returned the tanuki (and the old woman) were nowhere to be seen any more.
