Evening Glow at Seta (Seta no Sekisho), from Eight Views of the Province Omi (Omi Hakkei)

Utagawa Hiroshige

Asian Art

“Eight Views of Omi Province” was the most common Japanese adaptation of the Chinese theme “Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers.” In the Omi version, the motif of “fishing village at sunset” was located in the town of Seta, famous for its bridge. The same subject, focusing on the small island that divides the two spans of the bridge, can be found in the very early print by Masanobu, also on view here.
