Tokyo kaika kyoga meisho, Yoshitoshi, 1881 (Meiji)

A foreign woman visits the fox shrine in oji at the hour of the ox (1-3 am) in order to put a curse on a former lover. What's funny is the sight of a foreigner doing something in a traditional japanese manner. Yoshitoshi carries it even further by having a fox interrupt the woman's ritual. Date: 1881 (Meiji). Place of creation: Tokyo, Japan. Dimensions: height: 17.7 cm (7 in); width: 24.1 cm (9.5 in). Medium: pigments on mulberry paper. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Tsunashima - Tokyo kaika kyoga meisho - Walters 95620
