[Kitsune mon] (fox crests) a lovely yuuzen dyework by Yukiya, sprinkling symbols linked to Inari foxes imagery all across this kimono (lining included!). Much like what can be encountered in sanctuaries dedicated to Inari Okami, you can see here:

Vermillon torii gates, Senbon Torii is one of the most famous sights of Fushimi Inari Taisha:

Inaho (ear of rice) is part of the Inari symbols as the god-dess crops. A theory has that people made foxes Inari’s familiar because of their tails looked like rice ears in shape and color:

Byakko (white fox), a type of divine foxes and messengers of Inari (often depicted riding one). They are found on ema or as altars figurines:

Hôju (wish-fulfilling jewel), sometimes simply called tama (pearl/jewel), looking like a flaming ball symbolising the mitama (divine self) of Inari, probably of mainland influences. Foxes can hold it in their mouth, under their paws or at the top of their tails, symbol is also found used as crest (like in Izumo)

Yonekura no kagi (rice granary key), self telling as Inari cult was linked to bountiful harvests. Antique key were hook-like, so in time they came to represent abundance. Another theory stresses this might also symbolise an embelished kama/sickle:

Inari Shrine Fox

Situated adjacent to the primary path within Shimoda Park, you will find Kofuku-Inari Shrine. Inari shrines are frequently distinguished by the prominent inclusion of foxes. These foxes serve the dual purpose of protective guardians and messengers for the deity, and in certain shrines, they are even regarded as the deity itself.

Kofuku-Inari Shrine is dedicated to a deity whose sphere of influence encompasses safeguarding the rice harvest. Furthermore, this deity is the patron of prosperity for merchants, individuals involved in rice production, foodstuffs, and fisheries.

Visiting the Inari-taisha shrine! Not me thinking about gem of the eddy the entire time- The amount of souvenirs I bought here is insane but it’s not even that expensive! Following all the traditions and learning about them is super fun!

Old Inari Shrine in Park

Location: Shimoda Park, Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan Timestamp: 14:46 June 6, 2023

Formerly known as Kinka Inari Shrine, Kofuku-Inari Shrine’s date of establishment is uncertain. There are references made of the shrine in historic records from 1708 and 1717. It is said that in 1843, the shrine was rebuilt and its name changed to Kofuku Inari Shrine. The current structure was rebuilt by the locals in 1989.

The shrine is dedicated to a deity whose sphere of influence encompasses safeguarding the rice harvest. Furthermore, this deity holds the position of being the patron of prosperity for merchants, individuals involved in rice production, foodstuffs, and fisheries.
