Step into Edo’s mystical winter night with this T-shirt featuring Hiroshige’s Foxfires at Oji Shrine — a scene where fox spirits (kitsune) gather beneath the full moon, carrying lanterns through the snow.
The print reflects a long-standing legend: that foxes assemble at the sacred enoki tree on New Year’s Eve, before visiting Oji Inari Shrine — a practice still honored today.
📍Each December 31st in modern Tokyo, the “Fox Parade of Oji” (Ōji Kitsune no Gyōretsu) brings this image to life. Locals and travelers don fox masks and robes, walking from Shozoku Inari Shrine to Oji Inari Shrine by lantern light, reviving the very spirit of Hiroshige’s ukiyo-e.
A small Inari crest on the shoulder ties the piece to this tradition and the shrine’s fox deity.
Perfect for fans of Japanese folklore, cultural travel, and artful winterwear.
Perfect for fans of Japanese folklore, kitsune motifs, and Edo-period landscapes.
