Inari shrine dedication

Welcome back, SASU ICHI !

HATSU UMA--the first day of the horse according to the Lunar calendar-- commemorates the day that INARI (the god of rice, representing prosperity and taking the form of a fox) descended from heaven.  We chose this most auspicious day in the SHINTO calendar to re-dedicate the private INARI shrine amongst the 300 year old cedars in the woods behind SASU ICHI after its 100-year renovation.  A luncheon in the main house followed for all those who attended.
