fox's window; hand gesture forming a small opening between fingers
A specific hand gesture from Japanese folklore and children's culture: the hands are clasped together with the middle and ring fingers touching to create a small diamond-shaped opening, resembling a fox's face or window. Often associated with the kitsune (fox) and used in games or storytelling.
子供の頃、狐の窓を作って友達と遊んだ。

Literally 'fox's window'. The name comes from the resemblance of the hand shape to a fox's face or a small window, rooted in Japanese folklore where foxes (kitsune) are often depicted with magical or mysterious attributes.
