The "Eight Views of Ryûkyû," or "''Ryûkyû hakkei''," are a series of single-sheet prints designed by [[Hokusai]] and released in [[1832]]. Based on images from the [[1757]] Chinese text ''[[Ryukyu-koku shiryaku|Liuqiu-guo zhilue]]'', the series depicts eight landscape scenes of sites in [[Naha]], the main port of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]].
Each print maintains the four-character title and general composition of the images from the Chinese volume, which was republished in Japan in [[1831]], adding only minor alterations, and color.
The eight prints, and the sites with which they are associated, in no particular order, are:
