Antique Japanese Fox Pair — 1920, Taisho Era
Symbol of Protection, Mysticism, and Prosperity

This captivating pair of antique Japanese fox statues, dating back to the Taisho Era (circa 1920), represents the revered kitsune — the sacred fox spirit of Inari Shrines. Each fox is perched regally on a stylized pedestal, holding a flaming jewel or "tama," a symbol of spiritual power and enlightenment.

Handcrafted from ceramic and adorned with vivid red ears, cobalt-blue accents, and golden highlights, these guardian figures radiate energy and intention. Their alert postures, fine painted details, and mirrored composition create a harmonious balance ideal for flanking entryways, altar spaces, or display shelves.

Whether you're a collector of Shinto art or looking for a powerful symbol of good fortune and warding, these foxes offer both cultural depth and timeless style.
