1840 (ca.), Utagawa Hiroshige, Listening to the Insects at Dokan Hill -- British Museum (London)
From the museum label: On a summer or early-autumn evening, a family enjoys the sound of insects at Dokan Hill, a popular area north of Edo. A mother and daughter hold uchiwa fans, while a younger child shows off the crickets she has caught. Three men share sake and watch the rising moon. One holds an uchiwa, suggesting that this type of fan was used by both men and women.
