Fantastic antique kurotomesode depicting the fox lady Kuzunoha, famous for being the mother of the onmyoji Abe no Seimei.Incidentally, Kuzunoha is the main character in one of my favourite ukiyoe, “The Fox Woman, Kuzunoha, Leaving Her Child” by Yoshitoshi:Description from ukiyo-e.org: The fox-bride Kuzunoha turns away from her son tugging at her kimono, while her body and hair are that of a beauty, the silhouette of her face through the shoji door is the unmistakable form of a vixen. -- source link
