A young woman tries to catch fireflies on a fan under a willow tree in this print by the Kiyohiro. A little insect cage and tobacco pipe sit next to her on the bench. While the original print was a benizuri-e, the publisher has added many colours and a background bokashi gradation to this reproduction.

The poem reads Kure no Kane Kokoro mo isamu Hotaru-gari (昏黄の鐘　心もいさむ　蛍狩り), which can be paraphrased as "Hearing the sound of the evening bell, I feel like capturing fireflies."

The Japanese word kari 狩り literally means 'hunting,' but it also conveys the idea of enjoyment. Another example is momiji-gari 紅葉狩り, which doesn't mean hunting maples but rather enjoying the colored maples in autumn.

Considering all of these information, we think that the lady enjoys the mysteriously moving light of the insects in the quiet and peaceful night rather than seriously trying to capture them.
