狐火 (kitsunebi): "fox fire."
On New Year's Eve in old Edo, foxes from all over the Kantō were thought to gather under a great hackberry tree at Ōji, north of the city, before calling on Ōji Inari, the head Inari shrine of the region. Farmers watched for their kitsunebi, the floating fox fires, and counted them to judge the coming year's harvest. Hiroshige put the night into his One Hundred Famous Views of Edo in the 1850s: rows of foxes in the dark, a small flame beside each head.
Two white foxes circle a torii on the back under the stars, framed by blue flames, curling waves and red maple leaves. The big characters are 狐火 (kitsunebi), "fox fire," and the smaller line reads 妖狐の舞 (yōko no mai), "dance of the fox spirits." "Spirit Flame" and "Fox Dance" are its English labels, and a small copy of the scene sits on the chest.
New Year's Eve was when Ōji's farmers counted the fox fires, so that's the night for it, and 230gsm cotton has the weight to sit flat under an open coat. Every fox we carry, from smoke to shrine guardians, is gathered in the kitsune range.
