In this area the mating season for fireflies, that is, the two weeks when each variety flies around flashing its lights, is usually from the middle of May to the middle of June, depending on the variety. Issa seems to have come to town at a time when most people have been watching fireflies for two or three weeks already and the fireflies are beginning to thin out, yet in the garden of the place where Issa is now staying (or perhaps in a thicket outside Issa's window in a room in the house) the fireflies seem to have only just arrived. <br /><br />The fireflies could be of a different variety of firefly from those that have appeared already, or breeding conditions and weather along the large Tone River might be variable, or perhaps the oddball fireflies are just as eccentric as Issa is.<br /> <br />Chris DrakeGabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11660576.post-62845614131015648982013-06-06T09:52:22.154+09:002013-06-06T09:52:22.154+09:00Kobayashi Issa
