The term baku can refer to a tapir, a horse-like animal, or to the imaginary creature shown here. Conceived in ancient China, it has the nose of an elephant, the eyes of a rhinoceros, the tail of an ox, and the legs of a tiger. Baku were thought to eat up bad dreams—a fitting subject for this traditional Japanese pillow.
