1669, [Japan], The Tale of the Fox (2 of 2) -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: The stupefied monk discovers that, rather than being ensconced in a magnificent mansion, he is crouched under the floor of Kongò Sho'in, a Buddhist temple in western Kyoto. What he imagined to be reed blinds and tatami mats are but pieces of rags and old clothing, while the musical instruments are animal bones and the serving platters and dishes are broken saddles and horse skulls.
