The iridescent wings of fireflies glow softly in the light of the insects tails as they hover in the twilight darkness among reeds along the river on this exquisite box by Yoshida Sokan enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The wings are inlayed mother of pearl, the rest iro-urushi (colored lacquer) dusted with highlights of gold. The box is 28 x 31 x 5 cm (11 x 12-1/2 x 2 inches) and in excellent condition.
