About the work

“To bring luck and success in business”


As an old saying in Japan that goes, “such uncanny creatures as foxes, tanukis (racoon dogs) and goblins,” both foxes and tanukis are believed to have a power to change form and able to bewitch humans. Here, they’re caught right at the moment they’re changing forms to trick each other.
