The Cry of the Fox

Join us online for our family program Stories and Art, where we tell stories and look at art together! This month’s story, “The Cry of the Fox,” is adapted from a Japanese “kyōgen,” a brief, humorous play that originated during medieval times. The story is paired with a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi titled “Cry of the Fox: #13 of One Hundred Aspects of the Moon” (1886), from the Yale University Art Gallery’s collection. As you listen to the story, notice what details you see in the artwork. Then, using a piece of paper and a pencil, draw your own fox. We hope you have fun!
