"Famous Views of the Western Provinces" (西国名所図会, "Saikoku Meisho Zue") is a series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Sadahide Hashimoto (also known as Gountei Sadahide) in the mid-19th century. Sadahide was an ukiyo-e artist known for his landscapes, warrior prints, and depictions of foreigners and their ships, reflecting the increasing international presence in Japan during the Bakumatsu period.

The series "Famous Views of the Western Provinces" illustrates notable landscapes and landmarks from the western regions of Japan, which include areas such as the Chūgoku and Shikoku regions, among others. These prints were part of a broader genre of ukiyo-e known as "meisho-e," which focused on famous places throughout Japan. They were intended to cater to the Edo-period interest in travel and tourism, as well as to provide a visual guide to those who could not travel.

Sadahide's work is characterized by fine detail, dynamic composition, and the use of Western perspective, a technique that was being incorporated into Japanese art at the time due to the influence of Dutch and other European cultures. This was a period of transition in Japan, leading up to the Meiji Restoration, and Sadahide's prints reflect the cultural and technological changes occurring during this time.

The "Famous Views of the Western Provinces" series not only captures the beauty of the Japanese landscape but also serves as a historical record of the places and the era. Sadahide's attention to detail and his integration of Western artistic techniques make this series a significant example of late Edo-period ukiyo-e art.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, these works would have been produced through a collaboration between the artist, the woodblock carvers, the printers, and the publishers. The prints from this series are sought after by collectors and are held in various museum collections, where they contribute to the understanding of the cultural and artistic exchanges that were taking place in Japan during the 19th century.
