In Japan, it is common to see foxes enshrined in shrines.
Foxes have long been believed in Japan to be messengers and protectors of the gods.
Many stories have been passed down about foxes transforming into human form. The spiritual power of the fox is superior to that of other animals, and the fox itself has become an object of worship.
The fox has a fireball-like object under its hand, which is called a jewel. It is said to be a magical bead that grants all wishes.
