  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. During its heyday Takenaka-jinja's snaking tunnel of vermillion gates rivaled those found at Fushimi Inari (at this location the shrine gates are a fairly recent addition).

    Locals would joke that in the pouring rain it was possible to stay dry on the climb up the mountain as the gates were so numerous and so densely packed together!

  5. Fushimi Ward in southern Kyoto is best known for its iconic Fushimi Inari Shrine - but Fushimi is also Japan’s second-greatest sake-brewing area (owing to its soft water), and just generally a quite pleasant district to walk around.

  8. At its heart Motomiya-sai (本宮祭) celebrates the spread of the Inari faith.

    Inari Ōkami (稲荷大神), god of agriculture, industry, prosperity, worldly success, rice, fertility, tea, saké and foxes, is said to have been enshrined in over 100,000 'shrines' across Japan & the world.

    It may seem strange that such a relatively small shrine rivaled the famed Fushimi Inari for gates, but it should be remembered that gates as votive offerings only appeared in significant numbers at Fushimi after 1804 (at which time Takenaka-jinja was already in decline).

  10. For Motomiya-sai (本宮祭) it's customary for worshippers to give thanks to Inari Ōkami.
    Most of the 8000 lanterns hung for the festival are paid for by parishioners.

    All sorts of performances, from dance to drumming, are put on to entertain visitors, so it's a lively affair.
