About Inari Belief
Inari no Kami is a grain spirit deity and agricultural deity symbolizing rice. Co-identified with Miketsukami and Ukanomitama, who govern the five grains, Ukanomitama is enshrined as the main deity at many Inari shrines, including the head shrine Fushimi Inari Taisha. While originally a deity of grains and agriculture, it is currently regarded as a deity of the entire industry including commerce and industry, attracting beliefs for business prosperity, and is one of the most widely worshiped deities in Japan.
