"Omi Hakkei No Uchi" (近江八景之内), also known as "Eight Views of Omi," is a celebrated series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), who is also known as Ando Hiroshige. This series, produced in the 1830s, is a quintessential example of Hiroshige's mastery in landscape art and his ability to capture the transient beauty of nature.

The "Eight Views of Omi" series is inspired by the traditional Chinese theme of the "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang," which was adapted to the Japanese landscape. Omi Province, now part of Shiga Prefecture, is home to Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, and the surrounding scenery provided a rich tapestry for Hiroshige's artistic exploration. Each print in the series depicts a specific location around Lake Biwa, capturing the essence of the changing seasons and times of day, often infused with a sense of poetic melancholy known as "mono no aware."

Hiroshige's work in this series is characterized by his innovative use of perspective, vibrant color palette, and meticulous attention to detail. The prints often feature elements such as mist, rain, snow, and twilight, which enhance the atmospheric quality of the scenes. The compositions are carefully balanced, with a harmonious interplay between natural elements and human activity, reflecting the Edo period's appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

The "Eight Views of Omi" series holds a significant place in the history of Japanese art, not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its influence on subsequent generations of artists, both in Japan and abroad. Hiroshige's ability to evoke a deep emotional response through his landscapes has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest ukiyo-e artists. The series remains a testament to his skill in capturing the fleeting moments of beauty in the natural world, making it a cherished part of Japan's cultural heritage.
