Eight Views of Kanazawa, drawn by Hiroshige Utagawa
Last Updated June 14, 2022
Shinetsuzenshi, a Chinese monk who stopped in Kanazawa in 1694, praised the scenery from Nomi-do (now Nokendai) just like the eight views of the hometown of China's Shosho. For this reason, it was named Kanazawa Hakkei and became the station name. It is a superb view drawn by Hiroshige Utagawa, an ukiyo-e artist at the end of the Tokugawa period.
