Sunshine Through The Rain
The Fox's Wedding. Akira Kurosawa, Dreams . 1990. https://youtu.be/KPO0WaPFKPk In Japan, when the sun shines through rain, the foxes (the shape-shifting tricksters of Japanese folklore) hold their weddings. In Japanese, it is known as 「kitsune no yomeiri・狐の嫁入り」, and when translated means the "fox's bride taking." As pretty as these may be to watch, they are bad luck as the viewer will be entangled by the fox's magic powers and bad things will follow. Thus, when this weather happens, parents often tell their children to play indoors to avoid seeing these weddings (perhaps just a way to keep kids inside so they don't catch a cold). https://www.plantagbiosciences.org/people/daniel-burke/2019/05/29/drizzling-tuesday-morning/ ああ、何か問題が起きた Uh, oh. Something went wrong. A fox came here and left this knife. You are supposed to kill yourself. Sasuké, the fox demon queller, Usagi Yojimbo. Stan Sakai. Sayonara.
