yūbi no Kitsune 九尾の狐 – Japanese Mythology Art Print by Bao Quyen
Kyūbi no Kitsune (九尾の狐), the legendary nine-tailed fox, is an original illustration by Bao Quyen, printed on premium 300g textured paper with a rich, gallery-quality finish.
In Japanese mythology, the Kyūbi no Kitsune is a powerful yokai whose paranormal abilities grow stronger with age, wisdom, and spiritual mastery. With each additional tail, the fox gains greater intelligence, magical strength, and longevity—often living for hundreds or even thousands of years. Known for their ability to shapeshift into human form, these fox spirits move effortlessly between the human and spiritual worlds.
Kyūbi no Kitsune are complex, dual-natured beings. Some legends describe them as tricksters who test human morals and desires, while others portray them as loyal guardians, devoted lovers, and protective spirits bound by deep emotional connections. This duality—mystery and devotion, danger and tenderness—is at the heart of their enduring fascination in Japanese folklore.
This illustration captures the elegance, mysticism, and quiet power of the nine-tailed fox, blending traditional mythology with contemporary storytelling. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on transformation, wisdom, and the blurred boundary between illusion and truth.
Perfect as Japanese mythology wall art, a gift for folklore lovers, or a statement piece for modern interiors, this print speaks to those drawn to mystical narratives, yokai legends, and symbolic illustration.
