*''Japanese'': 烏森神社 ''(karasumori jinja)''
Karasumori Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Tokyo]].
The chief deities enshrined at Karasumori are Ugamitama no mikoto, [[Ame no Uzume|Ame no Uzume no mikoto]], and [[Ninigi no mikoto]]. People pray at Karasumori for commercial success, skill in the arts, and safety and peace within the household, among other things.
The shrine traces its origins to [[940]], when in the aftermath of the rebellion of [[Taira no Masakado]], during an effort to exterminate centipedes (or rebels), ''chinju shôgun'' [[Fujiwara no Hidesato]] reportedly saw a white fox get struck by a white-feathered arrow, while praying there for success in battle. Taking the arrow and finding victory in battle, he then dreamed of a flock of divine crows. Traveling to the site he saw in his dream, Hidesato established a shrine there, and this marks the legendary origin of Karasumori Shrine.
