EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Fireworks at Ryogoku, 1858, is a captivating color woodblock print from the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series. This stunning work of art, created during the Edo period in Japan (1603-1868), showcases the bustling scene of a firework display over the Sumida River in Ryogoku, Tokyo. The black night sky is illuminated by the explosive bursts of fireworks, their vibrant colors and intricate patterns reflected in the calm waters below. The bridge, Ryogoku Bridge, adds a structural element to the composition, connecting the two banks of the river and allowing boats to pass through. The background is filled with the silhouettes of the crowd, their faces upturned in awe and delight, adding a sense of energy and excitement to the scene. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The intricate details and rich colors make it a true masterpiece of Japanese heritage art, transporting us back to the 19th century and giving us a glimpse into the culture and traditions of a bygone era. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and artistry of Ando Hiroshige's work.
