  3. At the beginning of this 'tunnel' of gates, increasingly labyrinthine as you climb, the torii tower over the path.

  4. Happy Friday from Japan!

    Fushimi Ward in Kyoto is famous for "that shrine with the many orange toori gates". It is also a major sake-producing area and a pleasant district to explore.

  6. In 1194 Emperor Go-Toba (後鳥羽天皇) decreed that Fushimi Inari had the right to 'divide' and re-enshrine the spirit of Inari Ōkami, allowing for new shrines to be created and a hierarchy established.

    The god, held in a sacred object, is moved to a new home via paulownia box.

  7. 🏮🦊FOXLIGHT🦊🏮

    Typically on the first Sunday (or national holiday) after 'doyō ushi-no-hi' (土用丑の日 'midsummer day of the ox'), Fushimi Inari (伏見稲荷大社) celebrates its biggest festival. Over 8000 lanterns are illuminated on the eve of 'Motomiya-sai' (本宮祭).

  8. 🕊️THE FOUNDING OF FUSHIMI INARI🌾

    Hata-no-Irogu (秦伊呂具) had amassed such wealth that he could afford to use large (dried) cakes of pounded rice as targets for his archery practice.

    One day the rice cake target transformed into a large white bird and flew off.
    Irogu hastily followed.

  9. ✨THE RICE GOD COMETH🌾

    Today is the 'first day of the horse' (it falls some time around the start of February each year).

    Hatsuuma (初午) celebrates the arrival of Inari Ōkami (稲荷大神), god of rice, prosperity, agriculture and industry, fertility, saké and rice, on Mt Inari in 711.
