The fox celebrated in Japanese lore, with its characteristically sudden appearances and equally mysterious disappearances, is admirably captured in this evocative image of a jumping fox. Caught in mid-leap as it gazes at a sketchily delineated and ambiguous form, the beast envisioned here recalls the fox's fabled power to assume diverse transformations, frequently that of a beautiful woman, and to beguile the unwary.Kawanabe Ky\u014dsai was one of the most prolific and original painters of the late Edo and early Meiji eras. His mastery of traditional painting techniques acquired by apprenticeship in the Kano school was transformed by strong personal eccentricity to gorge the lively original art exemplified here. The style and signature, "Seisei Ky\u014dsai," indicate that this is a work of his final decade, the 1880s, when Ky\u014dsai was at the height of his powers and was one of the earliest Japanese artists to be avidly admired and collected in Europe and the United States.
