Religious Researcher Sakuragi's Book on Inari Deities Reaches 5th Printing

The book 'The Great Secret of Oinari-san' (Oinarisan no Sugoi Himitsu), written by religious researcher and author Shikiko Sakurai, has become a hit and reached its 5th printing. Inari deities are often misunderstood or feared, but this book dispels such rumors based on the author's personal spiritual experiences and visits to over 2,000 shrines. It introduces nine Inari shrines each from Eastern and Western Japan with photographs, re-listing characteristics of deities previously covered. It also includes a unique version of the classic folktale 'Gon, the Little Fox'. The book is published by Heart Publication at 1,760 yen (tax included).
