eight views. Eight scenic spots from one geographic area specifically chosen
to be treated in verse or pictures. The idea of designating a certain number
of famous views is Chinese in origin, with the ten views of the West Lake
(Jp: *Seiko žÎ) likely
the earliest example. The most influential grouping of eight scenes are
the eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers (Jp: *Shoushou
Hakkei ānÊi) depicted first by Chinese painters (since 11c) and
then in numerous Japanese versions. The first Japanese variation is the
depiction of eight views of Oumi *Oumi
Hakkei ß]Ši developed in the early 17c. In the Edo period, with
increasing travel and tourism, many local gentry revived earlier literary
references or designated their own hakkei. Among the best known are
the eight views of Matsushima ž, Fushimi Đ, Saga ĩã, Akashi ūÎ, and, most famous, the eight views of Kanazawa *Kanazawa
Hakkei āōŠi. Eight views became a common theme in *ukiyo-e
ĒG painting and prints, with Edo and the *Yoshiwara
gī pleasure quarter thereof illustrated with their own hakkei . The
eight views theme was parodied in the eight Views of a Pleasure-House *Zashiki Hakkei
Ā~Ši, in which domestic objects cleverly replace natural scenery. |
