Video alert! The next in our David’s Choice video series has just been uploaded to YouTube. This episode shows and discusses woodblock prints related to the theme of Hakkei - or ‘8 Views’, centering on the iconic ‘Omi Hakkei’ (Eight Views of Omi) by Hiroshige. Don’t miss the ‘slow’ slideshow at the end, where you can get a wonderful close-up view of a full set of the prints.
