Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shinto?
Most consider Shinto to be “the Indigenous religion of Japan.”
I prefer to think of Shinto as a way of life that respects those with whom we share this world.
Who is Inari-sama?
Inari (“sama” being an honorific) is a Kami/deity of agriculture, prosperity, business… and a great many other very good things.
Why do what you do?
I hope to share with other Westerners, the elements within Shinto and Japanese culture that I’ve fallen-in-love-with over the years.
Why foxes?
They’re beautiful animals, and they’re fun to draw.
They are also Inari-sama’s helping-spirits.
