Eight Views of Omi: Wild Geese Returning Home at Katata

Katata, on the western shore of Lake Biwa, is famous for the Ukimido Hall. This Buddhist structure is a wooden pavilion built on stilts on the lake, giving it the appearance of floating above the water. Generations of monks and visitors have prayed there for safe travel on the lake.

Most depictions of this scene include fishermen, and the Hoeido edition of Utagawa Hiroshige’s (1797–1858) woodblock print has them sailing toward the shore at sunset. The Ukimido is visible, but the rest of the land, seen from the water, is largely in shadow, while the descending geese form a collection of small black shapes on the orange sky.

The Ukimido was rebuilt in 1937 after severe typhoon damage, but it has the same peaceful atmosphere as the original. Local fishermen still head out on the lake in search of a big catch, and flocks of wild geese can still sometimes be spotted in the evening sky. This image inspired a traditional sweet called rakugan that is still made locally.

近江八景：堅田落雁

位於琵琶湖西岸的堅田以「浮御堂」聞名，這處佛教建築是一座建在湖中立柱上的御堂，看上去如同漂浮在水面上一般，世世代代的僧侶和旅人都來到這裡祈求湖上交通平安。

許多關於「堅田落雁」的畫作都描繪了漁民，在保永堂版的歌川廣重（1797-1858）浮世繪中，漁民們在暮色中歸航。畫中有浮御堂，但更多的水岸部分都藏在了陰影中，紛紛落下的大雁在橙色的天空下化成了一道道黑色的剪影。

浮御堂在1937年遭颱風嚴重破壞後重建，如今依然保持著與昔日一般無二的寧靜氛圍。當地漁民仍在湖上尋找好漁獲，傍晚的天空中仍不時能看到成群的大雁，這幅景象也為當地出產的傳統日式糕點「落雁」提供了靈感。

近江八景：坚田落雁

位于琵琶湖西岸的坚田以“浮御堂”闻名，这处佛教建筑是一座建在湖中立柱上的御堂，看上去如同漂浮在水面上一般。虽然世代几经交替，僧侣和旅人依然一直来到这里祈求湖上交通平安。

许多关于“坚田落雁”的画作都描绘了渔民，在保永堂版的歌川广重(1797-1858)浮世绘中，渔民们正在暮色中归航。画中有浮御堂，但更多的水岸部分都藏在了阴影中，纷纷落下的大雁在橙色的天空下化成了一个个黑色的剪影。

浮御堂在1937年遭台风严重破坏后重建，如今仍然保持着与昔日一般无二的宁静氛围。当地渔民仍在湖上寻找好渔获，傍晚的天空中仍不时能看到成群的大雁。这幅景象也为当地出产的传统日式糕点“落雁”提供了灵感。
