I've gone ahead and merged Patting the raccoon's belly (mistranslation) with Tanuki No Hara Tsuzumi and did a WME. I removed the original example and the associated discussion which was distracting from the purpose of the page - illustrating the tesuji. I also trimmed some redundant content and stale links, of course.

I also took the liberty of providing a picture of my own tanuki; the mythical/statue form seems more appropriate.

If anyone feels the old example and discussion should be restored, feel free.
