Original Description
The enchanting woodblock print Oji Shozoku-enoki Omisoka No Kitsunebi ("Fox Fires on New Year’s Eve at the Fox Shrine in Ōji") by Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Andō Hiroshige) transports viewers to a mystical winter night in Edo-period Japan. Part of his celebrated One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series (1856–1858), the work depicts the legendary "kitsunebi" (fox fires) – ethereal blue flames said to be conjured by foxes gathering at the Ōji Inari Shrine on New Year’s Eve. Hiroshige masterfully blends realism with folklore, using delicate bokashi gradation to render the spectral glow against inky darkness, while skeletal trees and distant shrines anchor the scene in poetic realism. As a pinnacle of ukiyo-e landscape art, this print exemplifies Hiroshige’s genius for capturing transient natural phenomena and local legends, influencing later Impressionists like Van Gogh with its atmospheric perspective and bold cropping.
For contemporary spaces, this print’s nocturnal palette of indigo, slate gray, and muted gold lends sophistication to both minimalist and eclectic interiors. Frame it in a slim black lacquer or dark walnut frame to complement the print’s traditional gravitas, ideally displayed in a study or meditation room where its dreamlike quality can shine. At 34 × 22 cm (standard ōban size), it works beautifully as a statement piece above a console table or grouped with other Hiroshige prints for a curated gallery wall. Pair with warm, textural elements like a washi paper lamp or weathered wood accents to soften its cool tones, or contrast its spirituality with modernist furniture for striking tension. In offices, it sparks creativity while maintaining professionalism – position it where soft lighting can mimic its luminous glow during evening hours.
