Fire at Ryogoku from Hama-cho Kobayashi Kiyochika, 1881

The threat of fire was constant in old Japan. With buildings made of wood, paper, and clay, a single wayward spark could mean the total destruction of an entire neighborhood. The Great Fire at Ryogoku, said to be the act of an arsonist, resulted in the devastation of large swaths of old Tokyo. The story goes that two fires broke out on the morning of January 26, 1881. Driven by strong wings, the fires moved along the banks of the Kanda and Sumida Rivers, jumped the river at the Ryogoku bridge, and went on to gut much of the old city of Tokyo. Kobayashi Kiyochika left his house after the fire broke out to sketch what he could see and returned home that evening to find his own home completely destroyed. The following month, however, Kobayashi was able to turn those sketches into the woodblock paintings seen above, depicting the fire jumping the Ryogoku Bridge (top), the fire at the Asakusa Bridge (left), and the devastation the fire left in its wake (right).
