Enkiri Inari refers to a category of Inari shrines or shrine precincts in Japan that are popularly associated with severing unwanted ties, most notably troubled romantic relationships, but also bad habits or negative influences. Inari is traditionally venerated as a kami associated with rice, prosperity, and fertility, and the "enkiri" (relationship-severing) function reflects a specific folk devotional practice that developed at certain shrines rather than a universal aspect of Inari worship. Visitors are said to seek such severance through prayers and rituals, though these beliefs are best understood as popular tradition rather than doctrinally fixed claims.
