EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Fire-lookouts in Yedo, Height shown by a kite flown by a boy in the street" takes us back to 19th century Japan. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Japanese people during this era. Intriguingly, we see a young boy flying a kite high above the bustling streets of Yedo (now Tokyo). This seemingly innocent act actually serves an important purpose - it acts as a fire lookout system. As fires were common hazards at that time, these kites were used to measure the height of buildings and ensure proper firefighting preparedness. The artist beautifully captures both historical and cultural elements within this scene. The traditional clothing worn by the locals transports us into their world, while also highlighting their resilience amidst adversity. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to every aspect of this print. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for William Elliot Griffis' book "The Mikados Empire" published in 1877. It offers viewers a glimpse into everyday life in old Japan while simultaneously shedding light on practical solutions employed by its inhabitants. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art can preserve history and transport us through time.
