Kitsune

   

 

 

     Fox in Europe serves as an example of shrewdness and cunning, nothing more can be stated on this animal except for that. On the other hand fox in Japan, and also in Korea, is an animal that can be located between worlds – the world of humans, and the otherworld. Fox (kitsune) can be just an animal, a prankster, shape-shifter as well as a mighty demon wrecking havoc in every country.

    Kitsune as a benevolent animal serves at the shrine of Inari. It is Inari’s messenger and protector of the holy ground. Those foxes are beyond any suspicion as they belong to the deity. Stone figures of kitsune stand in front of every Inari shrine in Japan, sometimes decorated with red scarf (red is the color of Inari). 

Flood, foxes and Chuno

Yes, apparently those three words have nothing in common. But they do. I mentioned it's been raining, right? Update on this topic: actually I'm thinking of building my own arc. We have flood in the place I live. Classes cancelled, bridges closed, streets under water. And the rain - still coming from the lead-grey sky. With this kind of weather outside I managed to end an article on kitsune, japanese fox. Also, I started to watch (again) Chuno. To be honest, the first time I watched, I was just under such impression I couldn't collect my thoughts properly. But drama ended at the end of March, so after a month break, I decided to watch it properly. Not drooling over Jang Hyuk, no no... OK, maybe a little. But who would not? I mean... his smirk, yes his smirk and voice... Aishh, it started again.

OK, forgive me all OJH fans, but I don't like Tae Ha. Really. I don't.
