This is one of Famous Views of Edo by Hirokage, a painter in Utagawa School in the end of Edo. Here depicted is Oji No Kitsunebi(Foxfire in Oji). Presently, Oji Inari located in Oji, Kita Ward, Tokyo is considered chief of Inari Gods, and also known for the famous foxfire place. Utagawa Hiroshige also depicted an artwork about foxfire in his One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, that proves the foxfire was familiar to Edo people. Foxfire is kind of horror, but in this artwork humorously depicted is a man enjoying the palanquin pulled by foxes.

Wormholes, slightly soiled and rubbed

Utagawa Hirokage, also known as Ichiyusai Hirokage, was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints, who was active from about 1855 to 1865. He was a pupil of Utagawa Hiroshige I. From 1860 to 1861, Hirokage designed the series of ôban size prints titled Edo meisho dôke zukushi (Joyful Events in Famous Places in Edo). His reputation is based primarily upon this series and his 1859 triptych Aomono sakana gunzei daikassen no zu (The Great Battle between the Fruits and Vegetables and the Fish).
