Kitsune (狐 or きつね, Kitsune) is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. According to Yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shape shift into men or women. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.

Masks
The Kitsune mask is a Japanese mask in the form of a fox. It can be good or bad, depending on the situation. Kitsune masks are often used in festivals . They became a part of the Japanese culture in the 14th Century. In Japanese culture, foxes are an important role in religion and folklore. They are believed to have the power of shape-shifting.

Description
Foxes and human beings lived close together in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as its messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance. The more tails a kitsune has—they may have as many as thirty—the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them
