The Izumo-taisya Osaka bunshi Shrine in Osaka's Bayeshi ward is dedicated to the Shinto god Inari, patron deity of rice, industry, and fertility. Built in 1889 as a branch shrine of the Hie Shrine in Tokyo, this modest structure reflects its origins as a smaller satellite of a more prominent worship center.
