Catalog note / 解説
Mushashino no tsuki, “The Moon on Musashi Plain ” from the set Tsuki hyakushi, the “Hundred Phases of the Moon”. The set published between 1885 and 1892 ( this being 1892 ) by Akiyama Buemon.

The fox was capable of transmogrifying into human form and vice versa and was popular in Japanese folklore. Very fine impression with beautiful gradation of the earliest printings on the grasses around the fox.
