Description
Setta Bridge from Tokuriki's "Eight Views of Omi" series — the classical landscape sequence based on the "Eight Views of Xiaoxiao and Xiang" that was adapted for Lake Biwa and its surrounding landscape in Japan — depicts a bridge crossing one of the waterways in the Omi (Shiga) region. The Eight Views of Omi tradition organized the landscape around Lake Biwa into a canonical series of viewing occasions, each associated with a particular atmospheric condition: evening snow, autumn moon, returning sails, evening bell. The Setta Bridge sits within this framework of classical landscape appreciation.
