"Fox Fires on New Year’s Eve at the Changing Tree in Ōji" (Ōji Shōzoku enoki Oyashirazu no kitsunebi) by Utagawa Hiroshige is one of the most mystical, haunting, and beloved images from his masterful series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–1858). This print is a rare fusion of folk legend, seasonal ritual, and atmospheric magic, all conveyed through Hiroshige’s signature style of lyrical realism.
The scene takes place at night, under a pale winter sky. A towering, leafless enoki tree (Japanese hackberry) stands at the center of the composition—this is the so-called "Changing Tree", near the shrine of Ōji Inari, a Shinto deity associated with rice, agriculture, and foxes. The setting is New Year’s Eve, a time rich with spiritual meaning and popular custom.
According to Edo-period folklore, foxes (kitsune) from all over the region would gather at this specific tree on this special night, lighting fox fires (kitsunebi)—mysterious, floating orbs of light, like will-o’-the-wisps—before presenting themselves to the fox-god Inari. These fires were said to glow bluish-white, and farmers believed that the number of fires seen in the distance could predict the harvest in the coming year.
