"Gathering of Foxes on the Evening Before the New Year in Odji, Edo, by Shrine of Inari" is a distinguished woodblock print created in 1857 by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This artwork is part of the celebrated series "Meisho Edo Hyakkei" (One Hundred Famous Views of Edo), which captures various scenic spots in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with a blend of natural beauty and cultural significance.

The print, measuring 355 x 230 mm, is executed in the oban format, a common size for ukiyo-e prints. It is a colored wood carving, specifically a nishiki-e, which is a type of Japanese multi-colored woodblock printing that became popular in the 18th century. The artwork is framed and glassed, preserving its intricate details and vibrant colors.

In this particular scene, Hiroshige masterfully depicts a mystical gathering of foxes at the Inari Shrine in Oji on the eve of the New Year. According to Japanese folklore, foxes are considered messengers of Inari, the Shinto deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity. The foxes are believed to gather at the shrine to receive their orders for the coming year. Hiroshige's portrayal captures the ethereal atmosphere of this nocturnal assembly, with foxes illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns and the moonlight, creating a sense of otherworldly enchantment.

The composition is notable for its dynamic use of space and the interplay of light and shadow, which are characteristic of Hiroshige's style. The artist's keen observation of nature and his ability to evoke a sense of place and time are evident in the meticulous rendering of the landscape and the expressive depiction of the foxes. This print not only showcases Hiroshige's technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and spiritual dimensions of Edo-period Japan.

"Gathering of Foxes on the Evening Before the New Year in Odji, Edo, by Shrine of Inari" remains a significant work within Hiroshige's oeuvre and continues to be admired for its artistic and cultural richness.
