Created during the Meiji era in the late 19th century, this colour woodblock print is a masterpiece by Zeshin Shibata (1807-91). Measuring 22.4 x 28.7 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The print showcases Zeshin's exceptional skill and attention to detail, as he expertly depicts every intricate element of nature. The firefly illuminates the scene with its ethereal glow, casting an enchanting light on both itself and its surroundings. Its presence amidst blooming flowers adds an element of serenity and tranquility to this composition. Accompanying the firefly is a bamboo sieve, adding depth and texture to the overall image. This juxtaposition between natural elements creates a harmonious balance that reflects traditional Japanese aesthetics. With ink on paper technique employed for this woodblock print, Zeshin brings life to each stroke and color choice, showcasing his mastery over his craft. Gifted by William E. Harkins to the Arthur M.
