Inari Hokora in Washimiya

Wed, November 4, 2009

As I wrote about some time ago, I like very much these small shrines hokora, located on the side of the roads, like this one I discovered while strolling in Washimiya.

Inari Shrine in Washimiya

It is dedicated to Inari, kami of fertility, rice, agriculture and success. Inside, two pairs of kitsune guardians (males and females), the messengers of Inari.

It is one of the few shrines I’ve met left in disarray a little bit, with some statues fallen and with dried branches, but like this it seems to have even more charm…

Îmi plac mult minialtarele (hokora), despre care am mai scris mai demult, aşezate pe marginea drumului, ca acesta pe care l-am descoperit pe o stradă din Washimiya.

Este închinat lui Inari, kami al fertilităţii, orezului, agriculturii şi succesului. În interior, două perechi de gardieni kitsune, doi masculi şi două femele, mesageri ai lui Inari.

Unul din puţinele altare pe care le-am întâlnit lăsate în dezordine, unele statuete sunt căzute iar ramurile uscate, dar până şi aşa are foarte mult farmec…
