The print measures 24.5 x 37.1 cm and beautifully captures the essence of a summer evening. The artwork depicts three graceful women and two playful boys gathered next to a small shrine nestled amidst nature's beauty. With nets in hand, one of the women and one of the boys eagerly attempt to catch fireflies that illuminate the night sky with their enchanting glow. As our gaze wanders beyond this delightful group, we notice a small bridge leading towards an island situated in a tranquil lake. The distant island adds depth to the composition, inviting us to explore further into this idyllic setting. Katsukawa Shunsen masterfully employs vibrant colors within his woodcut technique, bringing life and vibrancy to every element portrayed.
