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

This charming pair of antique Japanese fox (kitsune) figurines, dating to the 1920s Taisho Era, captures the mystical allure and folklore of Inari’s divine messengers. Each fox is gracefully poised with elegant white glaze and delicate hand-painted details, sitting atop a traditional red and black pedestal base. Their upright posture and tranquil expressions evoke a sense of wisdom and watchful energy.

In Japanese culture, kitsune are revered as sacred protectors of the rice deity Inari, often associated with good harvests, wealth, and warding off evil spirits. These figures were likely once part of a shrine or altar display, now preserved as beautiful historical pieces full of spiritual depth and character.

Whether placed as a decorative accent, spiritual object, or collector’s piece, this fox pair radiates an aura of ancient tradition and serene beauty.
