The only fox shrine that I should find on my one-day stayover in the city of Niigata (新潟 "New Lagoon"). A pair of life-sized stone foxes sit watch outside, and a pair of smaller ones resides within. The ones inside are probably made from porcelain, but it's kinda hard to tell with the light coming from behind them. They definitely aren't standard design porcelain foxies though.
