Lake Biwa (Date of photograph unknown)
View on the Seta River and Lake Biwako from Tsukimi-tei at Ishiyamadera, a Buddhist temple in Shiga Prefecture. The location is one of the Eight Views of Omi (Omi Hakkei). The Omi Hakkei are the eight most beautiful scenes in the southern part of Lake Biwa. They are believed to have been selected in the 13th century and became especially well-known through woodblock prints of the same name by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858), also known as Utagawa Hiroshige.
