Farmer 
Edit
Inari was a rice farmer who caught a fox in a trap, but released it when the fox promised to provide a good wife. The wife was the Kitsune in her human form. When the son of Hantei II grew ill near Inari's home, the Kitsune cured his illness. After his death, Hantei elevated Inari to a Fortune status. [4]
Chikushudo Edit
Inari was the patron of the foxes. [4] It was rumored he resided on the snow-capped peak of the volcano Kurokazan in Chikushudo. [5]
Frost Dragon Edit
The Frost Dragon was the wrathful aspect of Inari. A fearsome force that was believed to control the late and early frosts, it was common to present offerings to the Dragon in spring and fall to prevent poor harvests. [6]
Festival Edit
The peasant in Rokugan celebrated their harvest in the Inari Festival. [7]
Giving his blessings Edit
In winter 1171 Inari was disguised as a peasant near the Sunset Tower. Mirumoto Ichizo saw him exposed to the cold and offered a bowl of hot ochazuke. Inari blessed the young bushi and gave him a small trinket of a dragon, made entirely of ice. [8]
