| 520 | |a There is a great deal of personalization of the kami in the worship of Inari. On Inari Mountain in Fushimi, for example, Inari is worshipped under tens of thousands of names, a phenomenon seen in contemporary Buddhist forms of Inari worship as well.

It also explores the relation between cultural understandings of the fox in Japan and expressions of individuality within Inari worship, suggesting that the fox is, among other things, a powerful metaphor for the distinct, yet private, individuality that balances social personae in Japan. | ||
