A tiny foxy side shrine of Touzenji (東漸寺 "Eastwards Advance Temple"), a Buddhist temple that is technically already over in the next town over - Shingu (新宮 "New Shrine) - though it feels more like an extension of Fukuoka, with no clear dividing line between the two. Four little porcelain foxes have made their home in this humble stone shrine, and two of them have already lost their heads.
