(6.5cm tall) This gentle Shinto kitsune fox sculpture is full of the quiet promise of dawn and the first light returning to the world. A lovely statue for a Shinto kamidana or just as a friend to help remind you that dawn always follows night.
It's made of stoneware and has been raku fired for the amazing effects of flame and smoke.
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 of my pieces entirely by hand with only natural materials.
