Ukanomitama-no-Okami is a kami of grain, food, and agricultural abundance mentioned in early Japanese texts such as the Kojiki, and is closely associated with, or sometimes identified with, Inari, the widely venerated deity of rice and harvest. Over time this kami's association with grain and sustenance broadened in popular devotion to encompass general prosperity, including trade and commercial success, particularly at Inari shrines throughout Japan. Devotees often regard Ukanomitama-no-Okami as a guardian of abundance, though specific outcomes attributed to worship are matters of tradition and personal belief rather than verified fact.
