A lone fox on the vast grass plain of Musashi, pausing among the autumn grasses under the full moon. Designed in the last year of Yoshitoshi’s life, near the series’ end: after ninety-odd moons of emperors, poets, and ghosts, one of the quietest sheets gives the moon to an animal and an empty plain. Almost nothing happens, deliberately — plain, grass, fox, moon. The fox is the old shapeshifter of Japanese folklore caught off duty, being only a fox. "The plain is empty. The fox and the moon have it to themselves."
