"New Year's Eve Foxfires at the Changing Tree, Ōji" is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in 1857, this print is part of Hiroshige's prestigious series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which depicts various landscapes and scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the Edo period. The artwork captures a mystical and atmospheric New Year's Eve scene at Ōji, a location famous for its folklore involving foxes (kitsune) believed to be messengers of Inari, the Shinto deity of fertility, rice, agriculture, and industry.

The print showcases a group of foxes gathering in the snowy landscape near a large, ancient tree, which is believed to be the location where these spiritual creatures congregate before proceeding to visit the Ōji Inari shrine. The phenomenon of foxfires (kitsunebi), or mysterious lights associated with these creatures, adds an ethereal quality to the scene, suggesting the supernatural aspect of the foxes' journey. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition not only illustrates the beauty and serenity of the winter landscape but also imbues the scene with a sense of mystery and enchantment, reflecting the rich folklore and cultural beliefs of Japan.

"New Year's Eve Foxfires at the Changing Tree, Ōji" is celebrated for its artistic and cultural significance, offering insight into the Edo period's societal values, spiritual beliefs, and the everyday life of its people. Hiroshige's ability to blend the real with the fantastical in this print exemplifies his skill as a storyteller and an artist, making it a quintessential example of ukiyo-e art that continues to captivate and inspire audiences worldwide.
