We are pleased to announce the reissue of a new Inaba Gogitsune.

Here’s the English translation of the folk tales from Tottori Prefecture featuring the Inaba Five Foxes:

**Keizobou**
He was tasked by the lord to make a round trip between Tottori and Edo in three days. However, he fell victim to a trap set for mischievous foxes and died in the Chugoku region. The lord, feeling pity for him, honored him with a shrine on Kyusyou Mountain.

**Oton Jyorō**
A parent fox living at Tachimi Pass was quietly taking a little bit of oil from an oil shop to raise her cubs. As her offspring grew, she transformed into a woman, sold herself, and used the money to help the poor oil merchant get started in business as a way to repay the kindness.

**Onji no Kitsune**
An old fox from the Onji area, encountered on the way to Iwai Onsen, was clever and used lanterns to deceive the villagers, causing trouble for them.

**Shoro Shoro Kitsune**
At the foot of Shichi Mountain, by the place where water flows down beautifully, this fox transformed into a beautiful girl and deceived people.

**Onashi Kitsune**
An old fox from the Nagao Mountain in Aoya transformed into an older woman to mislead people; it was an extremely clever fox.
