- Title
- Akasaka: On the Nawate Road, Yajirobei Takes Kitahachi for a Fox and Beats Him/ 赤坂縄手道にて弥次郎北八を狐とおもひててふちゃくする (Akasaka, Nawatemichi ni te Yajirobei Kitahachi o kitsune to omohite chochaku suru)
- Creator
- Utagawa Hiroshige/ 歌川広重 (Signature: Hiroshige ga/ 広重画)
- Description
- Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. A road lined with tall pine trees cuts through vast rice fields, a crescent moon hangs overhead hidden slightly by the trees. In the foreground, one man beats the other with a stick, the print title tells us their names are Yajirobei and Kitahachi. Yaji and Kita are the main characters of a popular comical novel titled Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige (abbreviated to Hizakurige) written by Jippenshu Ikku. The book recounts the two men’s misadventures along the Tokaido road. In this scene Yaji has mistaken Kita for a fox spirit or Kitsune, which are known in Japanese folklore to be powerful tricksters.
