In fact I almost posted the clip of it on the blog directly (Thanks for including it in the comments - it's subtly creepy, but it does stick with a person!)<br /><br />There is a lot of lore surrounding kitsune/ fox spirits in Japan, and there are even ways a mortal can try to catch a glimpse of it. But the feeling I get from reading the lore is of course you *could* try to see one, but why would you want to? If you were caught going where you shouldn't be you would be risking the kitsune's wrath. They are an awful lot like the Fair Folk of old stories; kind to those very few they chose to be kind to but often mischievous if not downright malicious. People didn't want to meddle in their business unless they absolutely had to!Rommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810721515248103148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659263493425330078.post-24272802746893664392014-07-22T05:25:13.548-04:002014-07-22T05:25:13.548-04:00I liiiiiiiike it.

The segment called "Sunshine Through Rain" is all about an uninvited child who witnesses a kitsune wedding and is punished as a result. The whole segment is here:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGyrdfXVOlA<br /><br />I remember finding this SO disturbing the first time I saw it over 20 years ago. I didn't understand the Japanese mindset then.
