About this book,
This is a story about subduing a nine-tailed fox spirit known as ‘Kyubi-no-Kitsune’. This fifth volume features the scene in which the fox—which had transformed into a beautiful woman, ingratiated itself with a noble family and was plotting to destroy the country—is finally vanquished. It includes scenes in which the children and wives of samurai families are duplicated by the fox’s sorcery, and in which strange spirits continue to appear in the area even after the fox has been defeated.

About our store
We offer a fine selection of beautiful woodcut books, design books and woodblock prints made in Japan. Many of our books were used as reference materials for Japanese industrial design some 150-50 years ago. Their designs are surprisingly unique and beautiful, and seem to compare favourably or even surpass contemporary designs. We hope that our design books will be used in contemporary design.
Woodblock printing as a printing technique is also amazingly precise, but at the same time offers a unique and beautiful texture.
We hope you enjoy our collection of Eirando Books.
