Origin & cultural context
Japanese folklore
Kitsune are foxes in Japanese folklore, often described as shapeshifters with benevolent or mischievous roles. Foxes are also associated with Inari; they should not simply be equated with that sacred figure. This illustration is a contemporary interpretation.
Not all figures here are benevolent guardians. Sacred beings, tricksters and complex myths are presented for cultural learning, not as interchangeable mascots. No ceremonial authority, restricted rites or supernatural guarantees are claimed.
