EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1858 colour woodblock print, titled "Fireworks at Ryōgoku Bridge" by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa, takes us back in time to the vibrant city of Edo (now Tokyo), Japan. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York proudly displays this masterpiece as part of their collection. The image showcases a breathtaking scene during a festive celebration. As night falls over the city, the Ryōgoku Bridge becomes the focal point for an awe-inspiring fireworks display. Brilliant bursts of color illuminate the sky above and reflect off the tranquil waters of Sumida River below. Boats gracefully glide along the river, offering spectators a unique vantage point to witness this spectacular spectacle. Crowds gather on both sides of the bridge, eagerly anticipating each explosion that paints the night with vibrant hues. This Japanese print captures not only pyrotechnic artistry but also transports us into a world where traditional wooden bridges connect bustling neighborhoods and tugboats navigate through waterways. It is an enchanting blend of old-world charm and modern-day excitement. As we gaze upon this ukiyo-e masterpiece, we can almost hear the cheers and gasps from those who witnessed these illuminations firsthand. It serves as a reminder that celebrations have always been an integral part of human culture throughout history – bringing people together to marvel at moments that ignite our spirits with joy and wonderment.
