foxes (kitsune)

Protective and magical, kitsune are the fox-messengers of the Shinto kami Inari Okami: the deity of rice, sake, agriculture, fertility, tea, and prosperity, among other things. Kitsune foxes guard Inari shrines and carry his/her messages to us. They help me to reconnect with nature and the real world beyond all of the human chaos, and they also make lovely friends.
