(3.5cm tall by 8.6cm long) This gentle, kind kitsune fox kami is a lovely friend for when you just need some peace and comfort. It would be lovely in a kamidana shrine, as a spirit guide, or just as a companion. And this one is extra special because it's rain raku! Those little spiderweb patterns in the glaze are where raindrops fell on the sculpture when the glaze was still vitrifying. Natural magic!
This fox sculpture is made of stoneware, glazed with non-toxic glaze, and raku fired for the amazing gifts 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.
