Meetings in this tradition's context
Kitsune is a fox. Japanese shrine-fox and European fox-story share a species, not a spirit and not one omen.

The animal is the same kind of canid. The Japanese being is a story-person and sometimes Inari’s messenger, not Reynard.

The Pleiades are a cluster of stars. Subaru is a Japanese name for that cluster, not a separate sky-object.

Inari is associated with Kitsune.
Kitsune may serve Inari. That is Japanese shrine-story, not Reynard and not a generic “fox spirit” of worldwide occult lists.

Rice is Inari’s store. The grain is East Asian agriculture before it is a kami’s brief.
