Description:
"Ohmi Hakkei no Uchi" (Eight Scenic Views of Ohmi) "Ishiyama Shugetsu" Autumn Moon on Ishiyama Temple. 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, "O Hill of Stone, the image of the moon that thou seest appear on Niwo Sea, is it not more beautiful than even the moonlit Akashi, or Suma?".
