EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as the Japanese Navy tests a hot air balloon in Tsukiji, Japan, in 1877. The vibrant colours of this woodcut by Utagawa Hiroshige III bring to life the scene filled with various elements that tell a story of innovation and progress. In the foreground, we see men and women gathered around to witness this groundbreaking event. Among them are European sailors who have come to observe and learn from the Japanese Navy's advancements. The crowd eagerly awaits as military officers prepare for the test, adjusting ropes and ensuring everything is ready for lift-off. A magnificent steam engine stands nearby, symbolizing both power and modernity. Its presence emphasizes how transportation technology was rapidly evolving during this time period. A water tower looms in the background, further highlighting the industrialization happening across East Asia. The hot air balloon itself takes center stage, towering above all else.
