Shinto god of worldly success and abundance – Inari, the author’s new polymorphic image capturing the moment of transformation of the tricky Fox into a graceful temptress. In Japanese folklore, the fox, because of its wisdom and longevity, is considered the messenger and embodiment of the goddess. The sculpture is made of light-colored jade that accentuates the plasticity and rhythm of the lines. Its color transitions became an important expressive means.
