‘Hotaru (Fireflies)‘ (10 July 2021)

Work in progress
Arrogant Look
Hotaru (Fireflies) is Senju
Fireflies
Senju: “The faint glow of the fireflies in the small cage lends warmth and mood to an otherwise predominantly blue scene. In Japan, it has long been a summer custom to collect fireflies in small cages and admire their slow, pulsating glow.”
Shin Hanga
Recently, Senju has been hugely influenced by the art of the Shin Hanga artists like Yoshida Hiroshi and Kawase Hasui. He loves their work and the temptation proves irresistible. The pose of the woman, or a similar one, can be found in at least 4 earlier works. There is just something about her that continues to trigger his imagination.
