Designed by Utagawa Kuniyoshi around 1850, it captures the climax of a legend that fascinated Edo Japan: the story of a nine-tailed fox demon who brought ruin to the courts of India, China and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eThe cartouche tells the scene: \u003cem\u003eLady Kayō, the old fox, reveals her true form and flies away to the eastern sky.\u003c\/em\u003e In the Indian chapter of the legend, the fox has taken the shape of Lady Kayō, a consort of irresistible beauty who drives her prince to cruelty. Unmasked at last, she sheds her human disguise. Kuniyoshi shows the very moment of her escape: the golden fox, her many tails streaming behind her and still tangled in the robes of her human form, soars through a swirl of smoke, while a warrior lunges after her in vain and the courtiers below look up in terror. She flies east, toward China, and ultimately toward Japan, where she will become the infamous Tamamo-no-Mae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eBold colours, a daring diagonal composition and an explosion of movement: this is Kuniyoshi at his theatrical best, and a striking statement piece for any lover of Japanese art and folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fdf8f0; border-left: 4px solid #b08a4e; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 0.9rem 1.2rem; margin: 1.5rem 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the full legend.\u003c\/strong\u003e From Lady Kayō to Tamamo-no-Mae, the fox who nearly killed an emperor: read the story of the nine-tailed fox in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wallango.com\/blogs\/news\/japanese-yokai-the-ultimate-guide#big-three\"\u003ecomplete guide to Japanese yokai\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-definition art print of The Magic Fox of Three Countries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Thick, matte, museum-quality paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Printed from ultra-high-definition images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Restored colours, faithful to the original woodblock print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Fast worldwide shipping in a protective cardboard tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eOur prints are available in a wide range of sizes, which you can choose from the drop-down menu.
