California Republic Japanese Style with a Tanuki 日本をテーマにしたカリフォルニア州旗
The California State flag is one of the most fun and adaptable flags in the US. Here a Japanese theme has been created. Instead of the bear a tanuki has been added. Tanuki are in Japan, and are sometimes called raccoon dogs. But they are not dogs nor raccoons. They something of their own kind of species, like fox is neither a dog yet has some cat like traits. To clarify, Racoon Dogs can not mate with dogs, cats, wolves, or raccoons.
Most people will recognize them from Super Mario Bros 3 as the Tanuki suit that allows Mario to fly, but these creatures do not fly. However, Japanese legends have that they can shape shift.
