Title: The autumn moon at Ishiyama
Description: The Eight Views of Ōmi (in Japanese: 近江八景 or Ōmi hakkei) are the most scenic views of Ōmi Province, the present-day Shiga Prefecture, Japan. They were inspired by the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang in China. The sights were depicted by Hiroshige in several different series of ukiyo-e pictures, as well as other artists. They are sometimes erroneously called "Eight Views of Lake Biwa", but the latter were defined to include different locations in 1949 by the government of Shiga Prefecture.
