Eight Views of Omi: Evening Rain at Karasaki

Karasaki is located in the north of Otsu, on the western shore of Lake Biwa. On a patch of land jutting into the water is Karasaki Shrine. The Shinto site was built in the seventh century and is an auxiliary shrine of Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine, which is located further north in the Sakamoto area. The shrine is famous for its sacred old Japanese pine tree that inspired many artists including Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) and the poet Matsuo Basho (1644–1694).

The Hoeido edition of Hiroshige’s woodblock print of this scene is completely focused on the vast expanse of the pine tree. It is shrouded in heavy rain and viewed from the water almost seems to be floating, like the small boats in the foreground. The majestic tree painted by Hiroshige was the second generation of the Karasaki pine, planted from a cutting of the first in 1591. Unfortunately, that tree died in 1921 and the current tree is its descendant. Even after a century of growth, the new tree has not yet reached the same grand scale as its predecessor, but it still appears elegant and mystical in the rain.

近江八景：唐崎夜雨

唐崎位於大津市北部的琵琶湖西岸，一片伸入湖中的三角洲上坐落著唐崎神社。神社建於西元7世紀，是日吉大社的攝社（本社的附屬神社，所供奉的神靈與本社主祭神淵源深厚），日吉大社本身位於更北的坂本地區。唐崎神社以神聖古老的日本松樹（靈松）而聞名，曾為眾多藝術家帶來靈感，其中包括歌川廣重（1797-1858）和俳句詩人松尾芭蕉（1644-1694）。

保永堂版的歌川廣重浮世繪將焦點集中在廣袤無垠的松林，樹林被大雨籠罩，從水邊看去宛然漂浮水上，一如前景中的小船那樣。歌川廣重畫中壯觀的松樹是第二代唐崎松，是在1591年第一代被砍伐後種植的。不幸的是，這棵樹在1921年枯萎，現存松樹是它的後代。經過了一個世紀的生長，新樹雖然沒有達到與上一代同等的雄偉規模，但在雨中已然有了優雅神秘的氣度。
