Kokkuri-san is a Japanese game. It is sort of like the ouija board- but much safer. In the game, you are only contacting one spirit. The spirit you are trying to contact is Kokkuri-san. Kokkuri-san is a trickster spirit, so it can easily lie to you. Kokkuri-san is a fox, dog, raccoon animal spirit. The fox being either a trickster or a teacher, the dog being loyal and protective, and the raccoon being mischievous but is also a bringer of good luck.


Kokkuri-san is usually asked questions about the future or unknown questions about the present. Some example questions are, "Kokkuri-san, who loves me?" or "Kokkuri-san, will I become rich?". Please keep in mind that there are some questions you do not want to know the answers to. Some people have been driven insane or committed suicide because they did not like the answers to their questions.
