Description: This print is part of the series "Children’s Customs and Manners" (Kodomo Fuzoku) by Miyagawa Shuntei. The series consists of two sets of 24 prints, each illustrating children engaged in various activities—from seasonal and indoor/outdoor play to festive events and scenes of everyday life during the Meiji era.

Shuntei’s designs are distinguished by their detailed figures, featuring pale tones, soft brushwork, and a subtle color palette evoking a nostalgic view of childhood.

Two young girls are inside a tatami room where they are lighting a firework on a small brazier, they both are very concentrated and attentive to their experiment. We can see a bamboo branch with a full moon outside.

This print is backed and has stains and foxing.
