A tiny side shrine of Kurokamiyama Inari Jinja, featuring lots of Iwakura. And not just kinda-a-lot but a LOT-lot. This shrine is dedicated to at least two dozen different deities! Some of the names are hard to decipher, since they use Kanji that I can't recognize, but I still could have added more to the list of names. But I'll draw the line at half a dozen unless someone specifically commissions me to record them all.
Watching over all these are a pair of life-sized stone foxes. The one on the left holds a scroll, while the one on the right holds and orb. There's also a little white porcelain twin-snake here.
