Nine women playing the game of fox 

"Nine Women Playing the Game of Fox" is a captivating six-panel screen painting by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, known for his masterful Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The screen, now housed in the Guimet Museum in Paris, depicts nine women engaged in a lively game, likely a traditional Japanese card game called "karuta" or "hanafuda." The vibrant colors, intricate patterns on the women's kimonos, and elegant postures create a dynamic scene, highlighting the beauty and leisure activities of women during Hokusai's time. The scene, likely set in an upper-class Japanese home, captures the essence of Edo-period life and culture.
