Antique Japanese Fox Statue — 1920, Taisho Era
Guardian of Inari: Symbol of Protection, Wisdom, and Abundance

This striking antique Japanese fox statue, crafted in the 1920s during the Taisho Era, is a rare representation of the revered kitsune—messenger of Inari, the Shinto deity of prosperity, rice, and fertility. Featuring a dynamic pose with a flame and sacred scroll, this ceramic figure captures the mythical energy and cultural significance of the fox in Japanese folklore.

With sharply painted red ears, expressive facial detailing, and a richly colored pedestal in vermillion, black, and teal, this piece is both a spiritual guardian and a vibrant work of art. Its size and presence make it ideal for a shrine, entryway, or collector’s display.
