Japanese folklore and religious mythology is rife with anthropomorphic and deified creatures. The kitsune (fox) recurs throughout stories in Japanese history, usually appearing as an intelligent and/or cunning being with paranormal abilities and often residing at Shinto shrines.
The kitsune are portrayed as having a deep connection with their human companions and as manifestations of a major kami (Shinto spirt) in the Japanese story of creation.
Kitsune have been a part of Japanese religious culture for as long as the culture has existed in any meaningful sense. Long before Japan came under imperial rule, it was populated by nomadic tribes whose spirit worlds were fueled by deeply held polytheistic animist beliefs.
WOAH! The art style is so cool, it reminds me of some illustrations of books I used to have as a youngster. So beautiful and intricate. It makes me sad when I see my friend’s children’s books, because everything is cartoony and simple. Along with the lore, this is really quite an exquisite piece of art. Also, anyone who knows anything about Kami is incredible. It’s the first religion we studied in my Eastern Religions class, and I suppose I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for both the religion and the art (so intricately woven in so many eastern cultures).
