A presentation about foxes and Shinto faith in Japan. Foxes play an important role in Japanese culture, so it is not surprising to encounter them in Shrines all across the country. This presentation depicts many such Shrines, as well es the most "foxy" Shrines I came across during my journey. A video of a Shinto Ceremony is also included. I held this presentation at the Eurofurence 25 in Berlin in 2019.
