Ginza literally means 'silver mint' — the shogunate coined its silver currency here from 1612, and the district never let go of the name.
The Foxes of the Silver District
Hidden in Ginza's back alleys are tiny Inari shrines where white fox spirits are said to run messages for the gods. Geisha of old slipped between the department stores to leave offerings, whispering that a fox honored in secret repays the favor in love and fortune.
