Hiroshige produced an estimated 8,000 designs over his 40-year career, making him one of the most prolific masters of ukiyo-e. His market has strengthened significantly in recent years, with the 2025 Sotheby's Paris record of $2.4M and growing international collector interest.

Description

This panoramic view of Lake Biwa from the grounds of Ishiyama-dera temple encompasses all Eight Views of Omi in a single composition — an ambitious format that compresses the landscape poetry of the series into one sweeping image. From Ishiyama's rocky hillside, the full expanse of the lake stretches north under changing atmospheric conditions, with each of the eight celebrated vantage points implied within the panorama.
