Inari Okami is one of the most widely venerated deities in Shintoism — the god of rice, agriculture, foxes, and worldly success. More than one third of all Shinto shrines in Japan are dedicated to Inari. The deity’s messengers are the Kitsune — magical foxes whose nine tails mark the highest degree of wisdom and divine power. This Inari Okami Statue depicts the deity with a nine-tailed Kitsune fox wrapping its tails protectively around the figure’s legs — a symbol of divine protection, loyalty, and the active cultivation of prosperity. Hand-carved in ash wood in our family workshop.
