Description: This series of eight designs by Hiroshige is based on the famous "Eight Views of Omi" series. Many artists in the Edo period adapted the themes of the "Eight Views" for locations other than Omi. In this particular set, for example, Hiroshige has applied the conventional themes (Autumn Moon, Night Rain, and so on) to famous views in the Edo (present day Tokyo) area. Hiroshige liked the "Eight Views" themes so much, in fact, that he created at least 24 "Eight Views" series during his lifetime. Each print in this particular series, reproduced by Adachi in the 1970s, is made up of a lightly coloured background and a fan-shaped cartouche featuring a landscape printed with vivid pigments. The original prints were probably produced in the 1830s.

For more information on "Eight Views" series, please see David's YouTube video on the topic.

The displayed dimension is each print size.


It comes with a title page, an index page, and a description pamphlet in Japanese and English.

The prints are lightly glued to the mat folder.

There are slight foxing spots on a few prints and on the backside of a mat folder, but the overall condition is good.
