More from Orca1
Several ceramic kitsune statues sent to me by 
unilaocorn from Japan. They range in size from roughly 3 to 3 1/2 inches tall. Each one has a twin so there's 8 in total, and the ones facing sideways are made to be facing each other sort of like bookends. You can't tell very well, but the two in the middle have gold tips on their tails.

Actually, I think the inari statues are supposed to be oriented so that they face you, or face the place where you are most likely to pray*. However, I guess you could use them literally as bookends if you really wanted to ^_^;
I'm glad to see they arrived safely, and I hope that brittle confectionary did, as well! I'd meant to enclose a letter saying as much, but I remembered it just as I'd finished sealing the ゆうパック ("Yuu Pack") with thick tape --:=P
* for wealth, in particular -- they're most popular in this region of Japan, where the political and economic capitals used to be

Since I'm not sure how long they're supposed to keep, I hope you have tried some ^_^; I admit, to me, the flavor is similar to that Chinese-American goodie, the fortune cookie.
It's similar to a famous confection made at the foot of Kiyomizu Temple, also in Kyoto. In Japan it's called... Kiyomizu-dera-yaki... or something like that. I'm told that it became famous [b]as[/a] a Japanese sweet in Thailand, but folks there refer to the snack not as Kiyomizu-summat or as "Kyoto", but as "Tokyo"!

Ah, thank you for the info, and for sending these to me. I'm afraid I've had to keep most of the statues boxed up as I don't have room to display them, but I have managed to set this up: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6779405
