Courage Wolf? Or he is probably Korean...

SPICY WOLF

First is the Hokkaido wolf.

It's nothing special, just your ordinary gray wolf that lived in Japan. They became extinct by 1889.

Now the Honshu Wolf, it was a special wolf.

It was very small, just over a foot in height. Became extinct in 1905.

Out of the 2 wolves, the Honshu holds a special place in my heart.

The Japanese Wolf(Honshu and Hokkaido) were very important in Japanese culture. It was very well respected, there are countless shrines in Japan, just dedicated the wolves. Unlike Europeans who despised wolves for eating their livestocks, the Japanese believed the Wolf protected their crops.

The Wolf eats the deer and rabbits that would ruin the farmers crops.

Horo was based on Japanese wolf you know?

Protected crops, ect

Japanese people would offer rice to recently born Japanese cubs.

This is actually better than most threads on /jp/ today.

The Wolf Shrines were a way for people to pray to the wolves hoping that they will come and protect their crop.

Infact, the shrines rented out Wolves to people, now they can sleep, knowing that their crop will be protected the great Wolf.

Fuck your wolves.

The extinction of the Japanese wolf caused many problems to the environment. The population of deers,rabbits,boars, every animal that the wolf hunted were no longer hunted, their population increase greatly.
