I was inspired to take these pictures by a class about Japanese literature. Stories about Kitsune and other mystical creatures really made me imagine things. My mind works like an album, making pictures of everything that i learn lol 

So, here I present you my interpretation of a Kitsune, dangerous but beautiful creature, that can bring both happiness and misery, depending on the creature ... 

In Japan when you go to the shrines you need to follow a lot of rules. The most important ones are

1. don`t walk fast, your soul fells chill in the shrine and might not be able to follow you if you rush! you can just loose it in the shrine ...

2. don`t go to shrines at night . a lot of spirits are walking around at night, and not all of them are kind. 

3. if you go there at night take a little jingle bell with you. I had one on my bag all the time, and still do, because i got used to the sound of that bell. This bell scares spirits from coming close to you. 

I guided tourists to night walks in Kyoto, so i had to be careful, so none of my guests loses their soul!
