A vulpine shrine that I found as a result of my visit to Aoshima - the island of many cats (see Book II ~ Chapter 18 ~ Matsuyama Madness) - being cut dreadfully short as a result of stormy seas.

Instead, I got to explore Nagahama, had tea with a monk in a temple, and found this fox  shrine at the edge of town. Two life-sized stone foxes watch over it.
