Fish, Wave and Firefly
Catalog note / 解説
Part of series of prints depicting men (probably the popular kabuki actors whose names were not shown here because of the censorship law prohibiting the luxury or fun items) in trendy light summer kimono. They are enjoying the firefly hunting on a hot summer night. This one depicts a guy wearing blue kimono with fish in undulating wave patterns perhaps indicating carp swimming up torrent to the dragon gate.
