This is a handmade kit for making an apron for small Inari shrines and komainu (guardian lion-dogs). It is said that a heartfelt handmade apron brings more blessings than a mass-produced one. Approximately 3 cm x 2.5 cm String length: approximately 21 cm Dart in the center and baste. Simply sandwich the string and sew. The string is made long for easy tying. Please do not sew the ends of the string, as they will be cut later. The fabric pattern will be one of those shown in the third photo. ♦️Regarding Inari Okami, as told by Toyouke Omikami (valuable information) Inari Okami is not a fox. White foxes are attendants (messengers) of Inari Okami. They are also different deities from Toyouke Omikami. While they are deities who grant wishes more quickly than others, there are rules. Those who are called "curse deities" in the world sometimes receive some kind of trouble from their attendant foxes. Toyouke Omikami states that neglecting worship and stopping midway will result in some form of trouble, large or small. If your wish is granted even with a single visit, please make a return visit to express your gratitude on the same day. ♦️One Shrine, One Deity Please limit your Inari worship to one shrine. Even if they have the same name "Inari Shrine," the deities are separate. Worshipping at multiple shrines is considered greed and leads to wavering devotion. ♦️Inari Okami Altar Please offer water, salt, rice, sake, fried tofu, eggs, and the first seasonal produce. Daily rituals will make it easier for your wishes to be granted. ♦️When Closing an Altar If you intend to end the worship within your generation, closing the altar is necessary. Inari worship is recommended only for those who will continue to worship through generations. If there is no successor and the altar is left as is, it will bring misfortune to descendants several generations later, so closing it is necessary. This can be discussed separately for a fee. ♦️Inari Okami in deserted old shrines These are inhabited by stray foxes. (Please research stray foxes.) It is wise not to offer prayers or make wishes. Beware of fox possession, which is not related to Inari Okami. What I have conveyed are the divine pronouncements of Toyouke Omikami. Those who disagree should act as they see fit. #ToyoukeHimeBrand
