"Fireworks at Ryōgoku" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige from his renowned series "One Hundred Views of Famous Places in Edo," created in 1858. This evocative work depicts a nighttime scene of the Ryōgoku Bridge in Edo (present-day Tokyo), illuminated by a dazzling display of fireworks reflecting on the water's surface. The print captures the festive atmosphere of a summer night in Edo, with numerous boats filled with people enjoying the spectacle. Hiroshige’s use of vibrant colors and delicate details adds to the visual impact of this ukiyo-e masterpiece.
