"Oji Shozoku-enoki Omisoka No Kitsunebi" is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This artwork is part of Hiroshige's acclaimed series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which was published between 1856 and 1858 during the late Edo period. The series is highly regarded for its vivid and poetic depictions of various locations in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), capturing the essence of the city's landscapes and seasonal changes.

"Oji Shozoku-enoki Omisoka No Kitsunebi" translates to "Fox Fires on New Year's Eve at the Garment Nettle Tree at Oji." The print illustrates a mystical scene set on New Year's Eve at the Oji Inari Shrine, a famous Shinto shrine in Edo. The focal point of the artwork is the enoki tree, which is believed to be a gathering place for foxes (kitsune) on this auspicious night. According to Japanese folklore, foxes are considered messengers of the deity Inari and are known for their ability to shape-shift and create kitsunebi, or fox fires, which are mysterious, glowing lights.

Hiroshige masterfully captures the enchanting atmosphere of this folklore with his use of color and composition. The print features numerous foxes congregating around the enoki tree, with their ethereal fox fires illuminating the night. The background showcases the tranquil landscape of Oji, with the shrine subtly integrated into the scene. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the delicate rendering of the foxes and the tree, exemplifies Hiroshige's skill in creating a sense of depth and movement.

This print not only highlights Hiroshige's artistic prowess but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and spiritual life of Edo-period Japan. It reflects the deep connection between nature, folklore, and religious practices, offering viewers a window into the rich tapestry of Japanese tradition. As part of the "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, "Oji Shozoku-enoki Omisoka No Kitsunebi" remains a significant work that continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and cultural resonance.
