Yes I know the cicada is barely visible perched up on the tree trunk but its a charming "slice of life" print showing us that small boys in the Edo period chased and hunted cicadas.
In Sydney its usually birds hunting cicadas as fretful modern parents fear children will fall out of trees and children are also encouraged not to hunt and collect as generations of enthusiastic collection have made the treasured Black Prince variety a rarity.
