Night over Edo ignites in bursts of color. Reflections shimmer on the Sumida River, lantern-lit boats drift below, and the crowds lean in to catch each flare. Street‑level spectacle meets sky‑high fireworks - Japan’s summer sky on full display.
Currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and part of ArdorU’s Fireworks collection.
