Eight Views of Edo (Edo Hakkei 江戸八景)
A set of Japanese woodblock prints titled Eight Views of Edo, made by Utagawa Toyohiro in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century in Edo (now Tokyo) for a popular print-buying public. The pictures show sweeping landscape vistas with pale washes, pine-covered shores, boats and sails, a long arched bridge crowded with figures, and temple roofs with red pillars, giving a designer a model of layered horizons, muted grey-green palettes and small accents of vermilion.
