(6.3cm tall) Here is a quiet, contented kitsune kami who carries with it the gentle slowness of late autumn, when leaves drift down to the ground and all the trees are sleepy. I hope it can help us to find our own gentle slowness and the remembering that we don't have to be perfect: we can just be.
This fox statue is made from stoneware clay and has been fired once, glazed, and then raku fired for the amazing gifts of smoke and flame.
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.
Through my work, I hope to bring a little nature, peace, gentleness, and spirit to the world. I make all my pieces by hand with natural materials.
