It's as simple as placing your hands together in front of a deity at a real shrine. The app provides a similar experience by allowing you to practice your faith and connect with the divine in your own way.
The stone fox statues at the shrine are prone to damage, such as broken noses, and those that are damaged may be placed in the back of the shrine.
This fox seems to have come out of that stone when it broke. and it has been living here ever since.
More details
It all started on the day of a certain festival.
The small portable shrine (mikoshi), carried by the townspeople, entered the precincts of the Inari Shrine.
The mikoshi was supposed to go straight to the main hall, along the stone-paved approach and through the torii gate, but for some reason, it gradually veered off the path and ended up to the side.
The mikoshi did not stop, and eventually, one of the townspeople got caught between the mikoshi's carrying poles and the stone fox statue that stood in its way.
The hard stone statue pressed against the person's body, and it seemed as if they were about to be crushed. The person screamed in pain, and then suddenly, the pedestal of the statue shifted, causing the fox statue to topple to the ground.
As the fox statue fell, its long nose broke off, and at the same time, a small white animal emerged.
This animal was the white fox deity, now without its long nose.
Those who were present were terrified by the disaster they had caused, but decided to let the fox deity rest and recover in the shrine's office until it could return to its original form.
The fox who ended up living at the shrine office spends their days without getting angry or sad, just simply passing time.
From time to time, they enjoy themselves in their own way, using the electronic appliances that are brought in, dropping by the animal cafe that opens at night, picking flowers that bloom during the warm season to show off, and enjoying the food they receive.
Not only do they take it easy, but they also study diligently at set times. It seems that they are working hard as the messenger of the god of commerce to fulfill people's wishes. (Although they are currently on leave and cannot go on missions.)
However, they are not just a positive and energetic person. Before dawn, they reflect on what their existence means and quietly stare at the sky.
Just like the waxing and waning of the moon, it is rare to be constantly filled like a full moon, and the fox is no exception.
