Connection to the seasons — First sighting of fireflies and the light of the waterside
Early June is the season when fireflies begin to dance throughout Japan. "First sighting of fireflies" refers to the day when the light of fireflies is seen for the first time that year, and it has long been cherished as a symbol of the arrival of summer. Fireflies glow mainly for courtship purposes, with the males flying while glowing and the females responding with their own light, creating a drama of life.
Fireflies, which can only live near pristine bodies of water, are a symbol of a beautiful natural environment. Their faint, almost fading light has long been celebrated in Japanese poetry and stories, and has been likened to the human soul or fleeting love. The color of "Hirobi Hatsu" (first firefly light) reflects this Japanese aesthetic sense and view of nature.
