Foxes gather under a tall, mostly leafless hackberry tree on New Year's Eve; from here, they will make their annual pilgrimage to the Oji Inari Shrine. In the shadowy fields beyond, more foxes have gathered, and a number of kitsunebi - magical foxfires - glow and dance in the air around them. Further on, traditional thatched-roof farm buildings are tucked in next to a forested hillside; these buildings are dark and quiet, the humans who live there seemingly oblivious to the activity in the fields. Above, scattered stars shine in a cloudless night sky.
Title: Foxfires at the Changing Tree (c.1857)
Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige

A light helmet worn by samurai and ashigaru (foot soldiers), the jingasa served both as protection and as a distinctive mark. This example, crafted in lacquered wood, bears a mon (clan emblem) indicating its owner's affiliation. The jingasa thus embodies the alliance between military utility and aesthetic refinement characteristic of Japan during the Edo period.

The corpulent deity is laughing, comfortably seated on his sack his left hand holding it, his right hand resting on his knee. His jolly countenance is accentuated by a slight frown and a small tilt of the head. The figure is decorated in iron-red, blue, green and black enamels. Hotei, known in China as Budai, was a 9th or 10th century Chinese Zen Buddhist monk, who was later deified as a god of good fortune. Hotei is recognizable by his large belly and his-equally large bag containing his possessions which he carries everywhere. His name is a pun: Hotei literally means "cloth sack". Hotei became a favorite subject for Japanese and Chinese artists as early as the 13th century. From the late 17th to early 18th century, porcelain figures were shipped to Europe from Japan, ordered by the Dutch East India Company and the private trade. They were models of human figures, animals, mythical creatures and gods. Including Hotei, the god of good fortune and happiness.

A Noh theater mask of a venerable old man, depicting Sankõjo. Carved from Japanese cypress (hinoki), it is characterized by its wrinkled face and accentuated features, which reveal subtle emotional nuances depending on angle and light. Used to portray elderly characters imbued with wisdom and solemnity, this mask exemplifies the expressive depth and spiritual dimension of classical Japanese theater.

"Kannon Ishigami" refers to a sculpture of Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, in which a stone figure (ishi for stone) is naturally enveloped or em- bedded within a tree root (gami or kami for god, likely referring to the natural form). These naturalistic sculptures, often made in the Edo period, were popular among the literati (bunjin) for their rustic, organic aesthetic, which reflected the concept of wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese philosophy and aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness, valuing the natural cycles of growth and decay over traditional notions of perfection and symmetry. It involves appreciating modest, weathered, or aged items, such as a cracked teacup or a moss-covered stone.
