Inari is a prominent Japanese kami linked to rice, agriculture, prosperity, and business success. As a central figure in Shinto belief, Inari is revered for ensuring bountiful harvests and the well-being of merchants and industries.

Often depicted alongside foxes, known as kitsune, these animals serve as the deity’s messengers and are believed to possess magical powers. Inari is celebrated for their fluidity, sometimes appearing as male, female, or androgynous depending on the region or context.
