The season of the lotus's first bloom (Hasu Hazimete Hana hitraku)

Following 'The season of the lotus's first bloom,' 'Spring Begins to Stir,' and 'Before Long, the Season Takes on Heat' this graceful work continues the series themed around the twenty-four solar terms. Set in early July, when lotus flowers begin to bloom, it delicately portrays the quiet scenery of a summer morning.
