The peak time for fireflies was around the 40th day after the traditional beginning of Summer—about mid-June today. In the middle of the frame, bridging the Kanda River, is the elevated flume of the Kanda water supply. Fireflies have gathered around the summer pleasure cruise boat, emitting pale glimmers of light. This work focuses on the feint lights visible in the darkness.
