Inari (稲荷, also Oinari) is the Japanese kami (spirit) of fertility, rice and agriculture.[1] Inari is sometimes represented as a male, female or both.

Thumb
Inari and her fox spirits help the blacksmith Munechika forge the blade ko-kitsune-maru (Little Fox) in the late 10th century. This legend is the subject of the noh drama Sanjo Kokaji.

The traditional messengers of Inari are foxes.[1]
