During the Edo period in pre-industrial Japan, (1603–1868) it was commonplace to take a journey to the Ise Grand Shrine, the most revered Shinto shrine in Japan. Once in one’s lifetime, those that desire to pay tribute take the trip which was called “Okage-mairi.” This was one of the few unrestricted trips that people of any social standing could participate in; however, some people were unable to make this trip and instead sent a person or animal in their stead. For many, white shiba inu were the animal of choice, as they were deemed to possess a certain spiritual quality and uncanny intelligence that made them ideal candidates for visiting the shrine.

Okage Inu is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum Network guided by the Kami, a warrior from the early genesis of the blockchain. Our legacy will serve as a multi-chain token developed around EVM chains and Shibarium, the official blockchain of $SHIBA.

From the start of their journey, Okage Inu are entrusted with gifts and currency to be supported on their mission by kind townsfolk. Exchanging the goods for food and shelter, the communal support of Okage Inu is a tenant of the mission. Our developer, The Warrior, will slowly unleash our foundation through accessibility on multiple chains — once complete the winds shall blow fiercely in our favor.

Welcome To The Outer Shrine — Gekū — 外宮

Gekū symbolizes our convocation. The secrets that lie deep within the temple are only to be imagined. From the outside, the flow of life and energy adds to the mystique of the power within. Our early steps lie in the interest of courtship.
