Kokeshi Japanese Wooden Doll Shinto Inari Fox Figurines
Description
Inari is the name of the Japanese Shinto (native religion of Japan) god who watches over and protects the rice harvest. As rice has long been the staple food of the Japanese, this god is obviously very important, and shrines to Inari are reported to number more than 20,000 in Japan. Inari’s messenger is the magical, shape-shifting fox or kitsune as it is called in Japanese. Images of foxes are commonly seen flanking Inari in paintings of this god, a...

Delicate masterpiece: Reading Kazuo Ishiguro’s “The Remains of the Day.”
The 1993 Merchant-Ivory filmRemains of the Day, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, is my favorite movie of all time.

Tolkien was...

The latter performed the famous immortalisation ceremonies for the stars for the following 30 years, time in which, near...

Upon her arrival, she was immediately loved by the Greeks for her beauty, grace, charm, and sense of fashion. When she began to get involved with politics, that warm welcome went sour. Topped with her inability to produce an heir- the Queen found herself the victim of some pretty harsh attack...
