The hardest book to find on Japanese fox mythology that we know of is Kitsune: Japan's Fox of Mystery, Romance and Humor by Kiyosho Nozaki. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most interesting, having been written by an actual Japanese scholar. Published in 1961 by the Hokuseido Press, it is now long out of print and very hard to obtain copies of. For those of you who can't afford the collector-book prices out there and don't have access to a library with a copy of the book, we have taken it upon ourselves to scan, OCR, and post the text of this to the web in the interest of furthering scholarship on fox mythology.
