Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Inari Oasis

Thu, December 23, 2010, by Muza-chan
Inari Okami, the Japanese God of fertility, rice, agriculture, foxes, industry and success, is one of the main gods (kami) of the Shinto religion. According to a statistic, in Japan there are over 32000 shrines (with full-time priests) dedicated to Inari. Besides these, there are also countless of small Inari shrines built alongside roads, in private houses or offices, or inside Buddhist temples...

... like this small shrine, located in front of the Yurakucho Denki Building, a small oasis of green between skyscrapers:
