Running around in a major storm, you wantto get yourself dry, right? Yeah, that's what Kit thought too. But he never realized at the time that he was inside a old shrine. A shrine toInari Okami,the Japanese god/goddess of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principalkamiof the Shinto religion. In earlier Japan, Inari was also the patron of swordsmiths and merchants. Oh, and the goddess of foxes. Ironic, isnt it?
