Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketBewitched by Foxes Size: 20.0cm by 13.5cm (7.87 in by 5.31 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [M] ? Designer: Kawanabe Kyosai Era: Recent | Currency: $ / £ / € Price: ¥ 7,000$ 55.00£ 43.50€ 51.00   Description: This is an unusual item in our Flea Market catalogue - a freshly made print, but not by us here at Mokuhankan. One of the traditional printers living and working in Tokyo for many years, Mr. Tsutomu Mitamura, has decided to try his hand at issuing some print reproductions himself. He is a huge fan of Kawanabe Kyosai's work, and has begun his publishing activities with a series of reproductions of some of Kyosai's Yokai related designs. He arranged for one of the younger carvers in the traditional crafts association, Kayoko Suga, to do the carving, and did the printing himself. --- This print comically illustrates men who have been tricked by foxes. In the upper part, a fox takes the reigns and rides on the back of a man who has been tricked into acting like a horse, while an attendant holds a tattered umbrella overhead, and another man foolishly leads the way. Below, a man has his topknot tied by a fox acting as a hairdresser, while another uses votive tablets typically offered at fox deity shrines as a pair of mirrors to inspect his hairdo.
