Introduction

Tamatsukuri Inari Shrine in Tamatsukuri, Chuo-ku, Osaka, founded in the Tenpyo era (8th century), is among Japan's oldest Inari shrines, dedicated to Uka-no-Mitama (Inari), known for matchmaking, good ties and business prosperity. The Inari mound and rows of vermilion torii line an atmospheric approach; the first-horse festival (Hatsu-uma) in February and Setsubun are lively, with fox ema that play on the 'Tamatsukuri' (jewel-making) place name.
