@Tsbasatoru are these foxes? Lovely photo

Yes, they are. Foxes are said to be servants of Inari, the god of fertility, and have been the subject of folk worship since ancient times.
These pottery small foxes were purchased at the shrine's gift shop by worshippers who offered them as prayers for happiness.
