(7.7cm tall) Here is a gentle and wise kitsune fox with its own tiny space for a special, sacred thing. The space is very small, just under 2cm wide by about 1.5cm deep, but it's big enough for a flower, or a piece of folded paper, or another little wish or treasure. The fox feels very strong and protective to me, but also so very gentle.
It 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 natural materials.
