ディレクターコメント
「火事と喧嘩は江戸の華」と形容される程に江戸時代には火災が多く、それが高じて火消しは江戸の若者たちの人気の的であった。
芳虎は国芳の門人で、幕末から開化期にかけて活躍した絵師の一人。明治元年には錦絵師番付で貞秀に次いで第2位となり、トップクラスの人気があったことを物語っている。芳虎が最も活躍したのは明治維新前後の目新しい風俗を描いた横浜絵や開化絵の分野で、相当数の作品を残した。当時の多くの日本人にとっては未知の外国風景も描き、その心をつかんだ。

Fires and fights were known as “Edo flowers” because there were frequent terrible fires in Edo-era, therefore, the firefighters were popular among young people of the Edo-era.

In the era, general citizens hadn't seen the actual western cultures, architecture from foreign countries, and the fashions, so people could know it from Ukiyo-es.
