• 新近江八景 New Eight Views of Ōmi details Nishijima’s contemporary take on The Eight Views of Omi - a series evolving from Chinese Song (960-1279) & Yuan (1271-1368) dynasty where tradition often sought poetic & painted works to be depicted across a series of eight specific themes: Evening Snow; Evening Rain; Returning Boats; Geese flying home; Clear weather; Autumn Moon; Evening (Vesper) Bell; & Evening Sunset.

Ultimately, a contemporary & re-imagined take on “Autumn Moon at Ishiyama on Lake Biwa”, The Eight Views of Omi.
