One of three fox shrines that I should find on my stray today. This one is already a winner: Tiny though it might be, it features a shelf with many tiny porcelain foxes behind the pedestal that holds the tiny shrine. A quartet of tiny porcelain foxes also sit directly next to the shrine, and a pair of roughly life-sized stone foxes sits guard in front of one of the stone Torii.
