Description

"Fox Fires on New Year's Eve at the Garment Nettle Tree at Oji, a woodblock print by Hiroshige from his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series." This is a low-resolution scan of one of the most famous prints in the series, it is also one of the last. It depicts a Japanese legend that at the Shinto Oji shrine, there is an old tree (the 'Garment Nettle Tree') at which all the trickster fox spirits ( kitsune) of that province gather once a year at night, bearing torches to light their way; at the meeting they receive their orders for the following year. Interestingly, one of the two trees can still be seen.
