"Fireworks at Ryogoku" is a renowned woodblock print from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the late Edo period, this series was one of Hiroshige's final works, with the prints being published between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts a variety of scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo), showcasing the city's landscapes, seasonal changes, and famous locations.

The print "Fireworks at Ryogoku" captures the vibrant and festive atmosphere of a summer fireworks display over the Sumida River, a popular event that attracted large crowds from across Edo. Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition conveys the excitement and beauty of the spectacle, with the bursts of fireworks reflected in the water and the silhouettes of onlookers crowding the Ryogoku Bridge and the riverbanks.

In this artwork, Hiroshige employs a technique known as bokashi, a color gradation that adds depth and a sense of movement to the night sky, which is illuminated by the dazzling fireworks. The print is characterized by its bold use of perspective, with the large bridge dominating the foreground, leading the viewer's eye towards the horizon where the fireworks explode in a variety of shapes and colors.

"Fireworks at Ryogoku" is not only a significant piece within the "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series but also an important work in the history of Japanese art. It exemplifies Hiroshige's skill in capturing the transient beauty of nature and the lively urban culture of Edo. Today, the print is highly regarded for its artistic merit and is a valuable document of the customs and leisure activities of the Edo period. It continues to be celebrated for its influence on the development of landscape art in Japan and its impact on Western artists during the Japonisme movement of the late 19th century.
