Crops from one of the giant Heaven and Hell illustrations I did for Cards Against Humanity back in 2016. This is from the Heaven illustration. The full thing is 1 foot by 6 foot at intended viewing size. The intended style was a sort of Bosch meets where’s waldo.

螢籠(といわれているもの) 昭和 捩花
高さ10cm強の金網で作られた筒型の蓋物です。最初見たとき、生き餌などを入れる釣り道具かと思いました。 話を聞くと、捕らえた螢と野原の草を一緒に入れ水を打ち、その灯りを楽しむ螢籠とのことです。何とも風雅なものです。よくみると、子供の頃のブリキと金網の虫籠に比べ随分丁寧な作りです。 今は螢を見ること自体難しいことになっていますが、夜露に濡れた道端の雑草でも押して静かな夜を楽しむのに丁度良いものと思います。
