(6.1cm tall) This bright and happy Shinto kitsune fox sculpture wants to bring warmth, joy, and the promise of a new dawn into the world. A lovely statue for a Shinto kamidana or just as a cheerful friend.
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.
