The Henge of Hitotsuna
![Picture](/uploads/1/0/6/9/10698807/1798686.jpg?394)
In old Japan, the people believed that some animals possessed magical qualities. They could shape shift or perform small magic to affect the people living in an area - for good or for ill. They called these beings henge (変化) and they often appeared in human form, predominantly as women or children. There are many Japanese in the back holes of the country who still believe in this.
The most commonly (or perhaps popular) animal yokai are dogs (inugami), cats (bakeneko), foxes (Kitsune)and raccoon dogs (Tanuki).
In the small sleepy little town of Hitotsuna, you will find many of these... listed below are just some of the more 'colorful' henge you might meet during your travels in this rustic little town.
