🦊 DAY 8: Kitsune⠀ Kitsune is a mythical youkai creature in Japanese mythology and folklore, a fox with supernatural abilities. Often, according to beliefs, it lives for hundreds or even thousands of years, and can also turn into other animals and humans. It is also believed that the strength of a fox directly depends on the number of its tails - the more of them, the older and more powerful the kitsune.⠀ There are two common classifications of kitsune: zenko (good foxes) benevolent, heavenly foxes associated with the Shinto deity Inari rice; yako (field foxes, also called nogitsune), usually mischievous, harmful and even evil. In addition, in some Japanese lands, ninko (invisible fox spirits) were worshipped and believed that people could see them only when ninko wished it. Some legends also mention that kitsune are cunning bloodthirsty creatures that eat human hearts, seducing men in the guise of beautiful girls..⠀ ⠀ Owner: @cafelattestar⠀ #kitsune #japanesemythology #horseadopt #horseartist #horsie #characterdesigner #characterdesign #kitsunefox
