Seta no Karahashi Bridge in Omi, Shiga Prefecture. The bridge is one of the Eight Views of Omi (Omi Hakkei). The Omi Hakkei are the eight most beautiful scenes in the southern part of Lake Biwa. They are believed to have been selected in the 13th century and became especially well-known through woodblock prints of the same name by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858), also known as Utagawa Hiroshige.
