*********************************************************************
After Christmas next big event in Japan is New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve is very important day for Japanese people along with New Year's Day.
At that day, Japanese clean their houses by all the family to welcome New Year.
And at the night they eat soba buckwheat noodle hoping longevity.
Because its∏ length is associated with longevity.
Today I will introduce you Ukiyo-e regarding with New Year's Eve.
Hiroshige One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, Kitsunebi on New Year's Eve in Oji
http://www.japanese-finearts.com/item/list2/A1-89-386/Hiroshige/One-Hundred-Famous-Views-of-Edo--Kitsunebi-on-New-Year-s-Eve-in-Oji ?
This is an artwork depicted on a basis of an oral tradition on Oji Inari Shrine presently located in Oji, Kita ward, Tokyo. According to the legend, the area used to be a huge rice field, and on every New Year's Eve, foxes got together at a giant nettle tree for a rite, then visited Oji Inari to complete their celebration. There are many landscape paintings of Oji which refer to the legend, but this artwork particularly holds a fantastic mood.
In the same series, there is other Ukiyo-e depicting Oji Inari Shrine.

I hear there is an event that on the night of New Year's Eve they go to the shrine to pray happy New Year imitating the legend wearing fox masks.
