Ōmi hakkei ["Eight views of Ōmi"]

[Artist unidentified].

[Japan: publisher unidentified, ca. late Edo to early Meiji period (1840-70s)?].

 

A set of eight woodblock-printed nishiki-e featuring the famed Eight views of Ōmi (Ōmi hakkei). The prints use the same circular theme, decorative circular border, and poems employed by Utagawa Toyohiro in his Eight views of Ōmi series published in the late Kansei era (1795–1801). The images are clearly influenced by Toyohiro's Eight views but are not identical to them, featuring more intense blues, brighter colours, and different perspectives. A complete set on a well-loved theme, by an unidentified artist.

 

Eight loose colour woodblock-printed leaves, complete, each backed on washi paper. Minor occasional marks, light soiling, and small bumps. Possibly removed from an earlier mounting. Each print measures approximately 22.8 x 17.2 cm.
