Title: Ito Sozan, Fireflies, Summer Evening
Description: Artist: Ito Sozan (1884-?)
Title: Fireflies

Condition: Tears on the left top, paper residue on the back, pinholes on the top.
'Hotaru-gari' (firefly catching party) is a favourite pastime on a warm summer night. During the long rainy season after the gorgeous cherry blossoms in April and the green leaves in May, fireflies are something to look forward to, as they brighten evenings and children love catching them.
This design offers a beautiful contrast between the dark tones of the night and the soft glow of the fireflies clinging onto grass. Although printed in sparse tones, the overall composition offers an almost nostalgic look, reminding one of summer evenings.
