"Night Scene in Saruwaka Street" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is one of the prints from his famous series "One Hundred Views of Edo," which was created in the late Edo period, specifically between 1856 and 1858. This series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

The "Night Scene in Saruwaka Street" captures the vibrant nightlife of Saruwaka-machi, the district in Edo that was the center of the kabuki theater world after 1841, when the government ordered the relocation of all theaters to this area. The print showcases the lively atmosphere of the entertainment district at night, with the street bustling with theater-goers, food vendors, and other townspeople.

In this scene, Hiroshige employs his masterful use of light and shadow to convey the glow of lanterns and the darkness of the night. The composition is rich with detail, illustrating the architecture of the theaters, the fashion of the Edo period, and the energy of the crowd. The print is characterized by its use of perspective, with the street receding into the distance, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the bustling nightlife.

"Night Scene in Saruwaka Street" is not only a visually stunning piece but also an important historical record of the cultural life in Edo during Hiroshige's time. It reflects the artist's interest in the daily activities and special characteristics of the various districts of the city. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of a moment in time and place, making it a valuable work of art both aesthetically and historically.
