"Les Huit Vues du Lac Biwa" (also known as "Omi Hakkei" or "Eight Views of Ōmi") is a series of woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This series, produced in the mid-19th century, illustrates eight celebrated scenic spots around Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan, located in the present-day Shiga Prefecture. The series is inspired by the classical Chinese theme of "Eight Views," which typically depicts picturesque landscapes with varying atmospheric conditions and times of day.

Hiroshige's interpretation of the "Eight Views" theme reflects a blend of poetic sentiment and keen observation of nature, characteristic of his artistic style. Each print in the series captures a specific locale around Lake Biwa, showcasing the interplay of natural elements with human activities and the changing seasons. The series is notable for its use of perspective, color, and composition, which convey a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature.

The "Eight Views" typically include such scenes as returning sails at Yabase, evening glow at Seta, autumn moon at Ishiyama, evening bell at Miidera, clear breeze at Awazu, night rain at Karasaki, evening snow at Hira, and departing geese at Katata. Hiroshige's work on the "Eight Views of Ōmi" contributed to the popularization of this theme in Japanese art and influenced subsequent generations of artists.

As one of Hiroshige's celebrated landscape series, "Les Huit Vues du Lac Biwa" holds a significant place in the history of Japanese art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and cultural importance. The prints are highly valued by collectors and are often studied for their artistic and historical significance, representing a pinnacle of achievement in the ukiyo-e genre.
