EDITORS COMMENTS
Fireworks at Ryogoku" is a captivating woodblock print from Ando Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," created in 1858. This exquisite work of art portrays the breathtaking scene of the Ryogoku Fireworks Festival, a much-anticipated celebration in Edo, Japan during the late Edo period. The print showcases the vibrant display of fireworks exploding over the Sumida River, with Ryogoku Bridge serving as a prominent backdrop. The estuary and boats in the foreground add depth and a sense of activity to the scene. The crowd of people, gathered on the banks of the river, are in awe of the spectacular display, their faces filled with joy and excitement. The use of color in this print is masterful, with the fiery reds, oranges, and whites of the fireworks contrasting beautifully against the grey tones of the night sky and the dark waters of the river. The intricate details in the boats, the bridge, and the background people are a testament to Hiroshige's exceptional skill as a block printer. This print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of traditional celebrations. The serene landscape, the bustling crowd, and the explosive fireworks all come together in this stunning work of art, making it a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art or the history of Japan. The print is a true masterpiece from the artistic school of Ando Hiroshige, also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige and Hiroshige I, and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire wonder and appreciation for the world around us.
