Kokkuri-san?
I've always been drawn to the eerie charm of Japanese folklore. Especially the stories of foxes and their tricks. It's no surprise then that I ended up creating a character based on the Kokkuri-San legend for my RPG campaign. There's something about the way the foxes are portrayed in Japanese legends that really speaks to me. Maybe it's the idea of a cunning creature outwitting humans, or maybe it's the mystique surrounding the kitsune-tsuki possession. Either way, I find myself constantly gravitating towards these tales. Perhaps there's a bit of fox in me too, always playing my own games of deception.
For those who don't know, the Kokkuri-San legend is about a divination game where players can contact the spirit of a fox. The fox, in turn, will answer questions about the future or even possess the player. It's a spooky tale that's been retold in many different ways, and one that continues to fascinate me.
