Antique Japanese Inari Fox Pair— 1920, Taisho Era
Symbol of Protection, Prosperity, and Sacred Tradition

This charming pair of antique Japanese foxes (kitsune), crafted in the 1920s during the Taisho Era, captures the spiritual essence of Inari shrines in a petite, expressive form. Each fox is seated atop a vividly painted pedestal, clutching a sacred flame — a classic Shinto symbol representing purification and divine presence.

Handmade from ceramic and hand-painted with traditional colors including vibrant gold, orange, and green, these figures reflect Japan’s long-standing reverence for foxes as protectors and messengers of the gods. Their delightful expression and compact size make them ideal as talismans, shelf accents, or a spiritual gift.
