"Sumidagawa at Night" (Japanese: 隅田川夜) is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika, created during the Meiji period. Known for his atmospheric scenes of Tokyo, Kiyochika is often credited with bringing a sense of Western realism and perspective to traditional Japanese ukiyo-e art. This particular print is part of a larger series that captures the transformation of Tokyo as it modernized, showcasing the interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of Kiyochika's style.

The artwork depicts a nocturnal view of the Sumida River, a significant waterway in Tokyo, with an emphasis on the reflections and activities along its banks. Kiyochika's use of light and shadow, along with the incorporation of Western techniques, creates a sense of depth and tranquility. The print captures the essence of Tokyo's urban landscape during a time of rapid change, reflecting the influence of industrialization and the introduction of electric lighting.

"Sumidagawa at Night" is celebrated for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of the Meiji-era cityscape. It stands as a testament to Kiyochika's innovative approach to ukiyo-e, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western elements to document a pivotal moment in Japan's history. The print remains an important work within the genre of Meiji ukiyo-e and is studied for its artistic and historical significance.
