Description

Iris bloom in a pond or river in the background as a beautiful woman in a state of undress chases fireflies. A little cage in front of her shows us that she is hoping to catch a few of the insects.

Bokashi gradation has been used in the background of the print to great effect, and the hairline of the woman has been finely carved.
