Fushimi Inari Shrine - a photo on Flickriver

View On Black

Fushimi Inari Taisha is a Shinto shrine in Fushimi, Kyoto. It is the head of all Japan's Inari shrines--famous for its many vermilion torii. There are over 10,000 torii on the property that stretch up the side of the mountain, Fushimi-yama. The gates are donations from people all over Japan. The shrine itself was established in 711 and is dedicated to the Shinto god of rice, Inari (his messenger is a fox). Inari has been depicted as a white fox who governs things such as metalwork, which is why we often see him associated with the great swordsmiths of Japan. Much of the structure was destroyed during the Onin War, but it was re-built as you see today.
