Fox Fire – Kayo Yokoyama and Henryk Topolnicki

The mystery of the forest, we all fear to have fires in the forest, as human, always have fascination of fire with fear. I am going to create a wonder of fire in the forest. The Japanese folktale of the kitsunebi (Fox Fire) is in places where there’d be no presence of fire, mysterious flames would appear in a line that have gone out sometimes even appearing in yet another place. Generally the colour of the fire is red or orange, but there have been witnesses that have seen blue. It is often said that foxes trick humans, so likewise, the kitsunebi would light up places where there are no roads and make the humans lose their way. In late 15th century, the Honchō-Shokkan book contains a statement about how foxes would use withered trees on the ground to make fires. This “fox” does not refer to the animal, but instead means “withered” or “rotten and discoloured,” and seeing how “fox fire” refers to the fire of withered trees and the light of hypha and mushroom roots that cling to withered trees could be seen to refer to the lights, but there are many that still go unexplained.
