京浜伏見稲荷神社 Keihin Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kanagawa
神奈川県川崎市中原区新丸子東2-980 / 2-980 Shinmarukohigashi, Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa
The Shrine was founded in 1951 to become a place of worship for the many new residents in the nearby Tower Mansion (Tawaman) district.
It should give the residents a place to come and talk and make friends.
In 1954 the great iron Torii was erected, about 14 m high
In the compound are 108 statues of foxes, carved by a master in more than 20 years.
108 is the number of earthly desires in Buddhist lore.
The foxes take all kinds of poses and seem to enjoy themselves a lot.
And among them there is just one green animal . . . a frog.
