One of the bigger fox shrines that I should visit today, this one even features not one, but two notable side shrines. I am close to calling it a Bronze Fox Shrine, but since it only features 13 foxes alltogether, I feel it's not quite there. Two of the foxes here are, in fact, negative foxes: They come in the form of cutouts in the shrine's front doors, so I wonder if I should count them negative too? If so, this shrine only features the fox kit of the right of the two life-sized stone-foxes in front, which incidentally also brings the vixen side count to 8:26.
