EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Fireworks at Ryogoku" takes us back to 19th-century Japan and immerses us in the vibrant atmosphere of a festive celebration. Created by Utagawa Hiroshige II, this masterpiece measures 24.5x36 cm and is currently housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The artwork showcases a bustling scene with an arched wooden bridge as its focal point. People from all walks of life can be seen crossing the bridge, adding to the lively ambiance of the town. In the background, we catch glimpses of traditional Japanese architecture and longboats known as donkobune ferrying passengers across the river. However, it is the fireworks that truly steal the show. Bursting into colorful explosions against a dark night sky, they create a mesmerizing display that illuminates both land and water below. The artist's skillful use of colors brings these fireworks to life on paper. This print captures not only a momentary spectacle but also reflects upon Japanese culture and tradition during festivals. It transports viewers to another time and place where celebrations filled busy streets with joyous energy. As we gaze upon this woodblock print, we are reminded of Hiroshige II's mastery in capturing fleeting moments through his artistry—a testament to his enduring legacy within Japanese art history.
