Fox mask Japan 6.5 inches, painted papier mache with wooden mouth bar Categorized as a Halloween mask, this is more accurately described as a party or festival mask. A traditional children's mask for special holidays. Foxes in Japan are tied very closely to Inari, the Shinto God of rice and fortune. As the messenger of Inari, foxes are believed to posses supernatural powers. The power of the fox is believed to grow as they age. After a century, they gain the ability to shape and possess people. The most powerful foxes are those who reach the grand old age of 1,000 (the so-called nine-tailed fox) and gain the power of infinite vision.
