Note du spécialiste

In the evening of the New Year’s Eve, foxes with the flame-like phosphorescence gather under the tree of hackberry tree called Shozoku enoki near Oji Inari shrine in Edo. After tidying up themselves under this tree, foxes visit Oji Inari shrine to receive the divine message for the New Year’s Day. This is the sole work depicting a fantastical subject from the series of One hundred views of famous places of Edo.
