What does Yasaburou Shimogamo mean when in episode 7 (00:36) he says: "Even
for a Bohemian tanuki like me..."

I thought tanuki were a Japanese thing. Do tanuki exist in Eastern Europe?

What did Yasaburou mean by calling himself a "Bohemian Tanuki"?


I doubt Yasaburou was insinuating that he was from the traditional Czech
lands. Instead he meant
[Bohemianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemianism), which is used to
describe people of unconventional lifestyles.

Also see: [Urban
dictionary](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bohemian), [Merriam
Webster](http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bohemian),
[Dictionary.com](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bohemian).

  * a person (as a writer or an artist) living an unconventional life usually in a colony with others
  * pertaining to or characteristic of the unconventional life of a bohemian.
  * living a wandering or vagabond life, as a Gypsy.
