Great Fire in Ryōgoku Drawn from Hamachō by Kobayashi Kiyochika is another powerful woodblock print depicting the great fire that swept through the Ryōgoku district in 19th-century Edo (now Tokyo). The composition captures the vast scale of the fire, with smoke and flames consuming the cityscape. Kiyochika’s use of perspective and his ability to convey the scale of destruction are notable, giving the viewer a sense of being in the midst of the disaster. The work is a striking visual commentary on the vulnerability of urban life in the era.
