| Comment |
This series highlights the fire brigades that dealt with the many "flowers of Edo," the fires that were so common in the huge wooden city. The harimaze format also featured designs by several artists on each print. Hiroshige II designed the bowl in the top section and the tree in the bottom left is signed Shogetsu. In the bottom right, the girl grabs the arm of the old cannibal woman who is holding a mirror. MFA #11.42488 |
