The speech after Genkurogitsune has revealed his true character is expressed using a unique way of speaking called Kitsune-kotoba, which differs from the speech of human beings. The tone of the beginning of each phrase is high and words are stretched out, with the endings spoken rapidly. Breathing points also differ from the normal ones used when actors speak their lines.
The curled fingertips on each hand, shown here, are called Kitsune-de (fox paws). This is one of the techniques used for giving the impression of a fox. The actor also walks without making any sound in order to express the light movements of a fox.

Genkurogitsune, who has supernatural powers, flies away to his home in the Makugire (end of act). Chunori (midair performance) is sometimes used to express this scene.

The costume called Kenui is embroidered with twisted white silk threads all over the white fabric to represent the fox's body. Also, long twisted silk threads are embroidered on the obi (sash) and hang down to show the fox's tail. Kenui expresses both the beauty of a stage costume and the image of a fox.
