Tokyo kaika kyoga meisho
(Japan and Korea )
A foreign woman visits the Fox Shrine in Oji at the hour of the ox (1-3 AM) in order to put a curse on a former lover. What's funny is the sight of a foreigner doing something in a traditional Japanese manner. Yoshitoshi carries it even further by having a fox interrupt the woman's ritual.
