Description : "Ohmi Hakkei no Uchi" (Eight Scenic Views of Ohmi) "Hira Bosetsu" Evening snow on Mt. Hira. This small and rare series is known as the finest landscape series by Hiroshige. The short poem on the square cartouche complements the serene poetic quality of his design beautifully. The translation from the reference book, "He who would see the beauty of the evening on the peaks of Hira must behold it after the snows have fallen, and before the flowers are fully blown.".
