The “wolf cell” likened the oppressed masses who were being tormented by capitalists to the extinct Honshu wolf.
The wolf was afforded a benign place in Japanese folklore and religious traditions: the clan leader Fujiwara no Hidehira was said to have been raised by wolves, and the wolf is often symbolically linked with mountain kami in Shinto.

The most famous example is the wolf kami of Mitsumine Shrine in the town of Chichibu in Saitama Prefecture.
