I haven't heard about this story before. Is it from Japanese folklore or modern fictions (like in manga, movies, etc)??
The story is quite interesting and rare.
Anyway, I really like how you draw kitsune in traditional style like on those fox masks. Beautiful artwork!

Thank you so much This is a story from 1929 (Showa:昭和 Era), so it is still new.So, it seems that the literature is relatively left.
This is not a folklore, left by "Shigeno" and its followers. It is described in the materials of Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto.
A lot of anecdotes of "Inari" other than "Shirataka" are also described. Shrine was dedicated to "Shirataka" There are (probably small) as well.
Material: Fushimi-Inari Taisha, Chief Administrative Officer.

I think I find the books which have collected this story. It's from a research about Japanese belief in modern era by Anne Bouchy (French author). Here are two books which I found the story.
- Les Oracles de Shirataka
- 神と人の はざまに生きる—近代都市の女性巫者 in Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie vol.16
Really cool one.

Also, what a bittersweet tale ;-; the Shigeno is a brief, sparkling moment in the Shirataka's life...
