By Karen A. Smyers. Condition very good, minor wear and warping to cover. The deity Inari has been worshipped in Japan since at least the early 8th century and today is a revered presence in such varied venues as Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, factories, household, restaurants, and rice fields. Although at first glance and to its many devotees Inari worship may seem to be a unified phenomenon, it is in fact exceedingly multiple, noncodified, and noncentralized. This book describes the rich complexity of Inari worship in contemporary Japan.
