I love the National Diet Library because there are so many gems like this, digitally available in a high quality.

If, like me, you're interested in the history of urban conflagration, you'd do well to consider Edo/Tokyo.
And if you're curious about Tokyo's fire history you can do no better than to unroll 目黒行人阪火事絵巻, a scroll depicting the 1772 Meguro Gyoninzaka fire, one of the 3 great Edo era fires
