Fox Woman, also known as Kitsune in Japanese folklore, is a shapeshifting trickster character who resembles the elusive, clever fox from the wild. Although this folktale comes in many different variations and her story is told in many tongues, what they all have in common is a trickster character who shifts between human and fox, living in multiple worlds, questioning the order of things through her mischief, playfulness, wit, deception, magic and defiance of authority. Fox Woman is almost always a tale of transformation and self-discovery, making visible the tension between the need for order, and its reinvention.
