The fox is the messenger of the god Inari. Fushimi-Inari is the guardian god of Hata-clan who originally believed in Nestorianism. Some argue that Inari is a corrupted form of I.N.R.I. or Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews (John 19: 19). It's interesting that Christ changed into a god that grants people's worldly request accompanied by a messenger animal of Dakini a tantric goddess of eros who helps us chasing after dreams and pleasures.

My favorite place in Kyoto. My wife and I left one of those little wodden kitsune heads on the mountain when we were there for our honeymoon.
