Beautiful photo of this fascinating shrine. I love the name, what does it mean? And is this shaped as a letter character that means anything as well?

Thanks H.O, Still, Micki and Angry Buddha!!!
The question from Micki is difficult...
At first, 'taisha' means shrine. Often people say 'Jinjya' as same word. And 'inari-taisha' is the shrine dedicated to the deity of buisiness. The second, 'Fushimi' is the name of the place. So this name means 'the shrine dedicated to the deity of business in Fushimi'. There are so many 'Inari-taisha' or 'Inari-jinjya' in Japan. The shrine in the photo is the head shrine. :-)
