Making a Japanese Kitsune Fox Mask! (half-mask)

Today we’re making a mask I personally adore, and no, not the kind that you’re supposed to be wearing when leaving your house rn.
The Japanese fox mask, also known as Kitsune mask, is an iconic and fascinating part of Japanese culture. They are mainly worn at festivals for fun, and you can also see them being worn in different Anime and video games. Anime such as Demon Slayer, Naruto, Into the Forest of Fireflie’s Light, and many many more.
Whether you’re planning to make one for a Cosplay, or just to hang it up on your wall and appreciate it, I hope you find this tutorial helpful!
AND DON’T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR MASKS!

I’ve always wanted to have a fox/Kitsune mask for my face because I am really insecure about it. This really helped me calm down and usually there aren’t many tutorials how to make a homemade mask but this one is just the perfect one for people! I would love to make different coloured/colored masks for each holiday and use every one of them!

Maam​@@PrettyMuchParadise can I do this with paper

[@PrettyMuchParadise]

Yes you can, but make sure to crumple up your paper a couple times before using, so that it becomes softer and easier to use! ^^

[@karasu-3237]

It is said that this mask is mainly used at festivals at Inari Shrine.Very auspicious.
Inari sushi, kitsune udon, and kitsune soba are also called 'kitsune = fox', and the contents are fried tofu.
Thank you for showing me the wonderful kitsune mask!

[@cursed-cat9126]

Every good kitsune loves fried tofu

[@frahn3573]

For a mask made from a cereal box, this is absolutely incredible!

[@ikko2072]

I watched this video to figure out how to make a Fox mask for one of my art class assignments. You were really helpful and I was able to make an amazing mask base thanks to you, but then when I went to your paper machete part I paused because my teacher gave me clay to do it. I open the package to find out that he gave me bad and cheap model magic, and that the base I worked so hard on wouldn’t even work. Thanks teach.
Otherwise, wonderful video! I’d love to come back and do it properly if I ever got the right materials.

Beautiful work! I've been debating on either trying worbla or good ole fashion paper mache. Definitely gonna be doing this!

Even better with stuff that can be conveniently lying around the house over something I may need to order online or travel for. Anyway, again lovely work! Thanks for the tips and inspiration~
