Those are [kitsune] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune). Maybe it's about [this story] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune_no_yomeiri).

I believe it's a print. No label or signature anywhere either.

My friend found this tapestry in a shut down office building. It appears to be a fox wedding procession with a couple other foxes peeking out from bushes watching. It seems like an almost tense scene..

I have been really curious about what culture it's from, what story it's telling, etc.

Sorry for potatocam

One of the sequences in Akira Kurosawas movie Dreams touches on the kitsune. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0100998/
