The '''''Inari Shingyō''''' (稲荷心経; lit. "[[Inari Ōkami|Inari]] [[Heart Sutra]]") is an apocryphal [[sutra]] compiled in Japan and recited as a form of worship to the [[kami]] Inari.

Before the Meiji period, [[Buddhism]] and [[Shinto]] in Japan were [[Shinbutsu-shūgō|not mutually exclusive]] religions, which allowed the [[Norito|recitation]] of this text to become an established practice at shrines such as [[Fushimi Inari-taisha]].

==Origin==
It is believed that the ''Inari Shingyō'' was first compiled at [[Aizen-ji]], a branch temple of the [[Shingon]] [[Tō-ji]] and [[jingū-ji]] of [[Fushimi Inari-taisha]], by the head priest [[天阿|Tenna]] (天阿). In his votive text ''Inari Ichiryū Daĳi'' (稲荷一流大事), Tenna included [[mantras]], [[prayers]], and [[norito]] that would result in the formation of the ''Inari Shingyō''.

As may be expected, there is no [[Sanskrit]] original of this text, nor does a copy exist in any extant [[Chinese Buddhist canon|Chinese-language Buddhist canons]]. The ''Inari Shingyō'' is a Japanese original text grounded in the [[Inari faith]] and [[Shinbutsu-shūgō]] traditions based at [[Aizen-ji]].
