"Eight Views: The Evening Bell" (also known as "Eight Views of the Parlor") is a series of ukiyo-e prints by the Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu, who was active during the Edo period. Created around 1765, this series is considered one of Harunobu's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the development of full-color printing, or nishiki-e, in Japan. Harunobu was renowned for his delicate and lyrical style, which is evident in this series.

The "Eight Views" series is a thematic collection that draws inspiration from the classical Chinese "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang," which depict eight specific scenes of the Xiao and Xiang rivers. Harunobu adapted this theme to a Japanese setting, often incorporating scenes from everyday life in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with a focus on the beauty of nature and human figures, particularly women. Each print in the series captures a different atmospheric condition or time of day, such as evening snow, returning sails, or night rain.

"The Evening Bell," one of the prints in this series, is particularly notable for its poetic depiction of a moment of tranquility and reflection. It typically features a scene with figures, possibly women, reacting to the distant sound of a temple bell, which signifies the passing of time and the ephemeral nature of life. The print is characterized by Harunobu's use of soft lines, subtle color gradations, and a sense of harmony between the human and natural worlds.

As with many of Harunobu's works, "Eight Views: The Evening Bell" reflects the influence of the literati culture and the integration of poetic inscriptions, which add a layer of depth and interpretive complexity to the images. The series holds a significant place in the history of Japanese art, exemplifying the elegance and innovation of Harunobu's printmaking during the golden age of ukiyo-e.
