The "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" (One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse) is a celebrated series of woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai, who lived from 1760 to 1849, is best known for his iconic work "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," but his artistic contributions extend far beyond this single masterpiece. The "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" series, produced in the early 1830s, is a testament to his versatility and deep engagement with Japanese literary traditions.

The series is an illustrated interpretation of the "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu," an anthology of one hundred waka poems by one hundred different poets, compiled by the poet Fujiwara no Teika in the 13th century. Each poem in the anthology is a tanka, a traditional Japanese poetic form consisting of 31 syllables in a 5-7-5-7-7 pattern. The "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu" has been a cornerstone of Japanese culture, influencing various forms of art, literature, and even games, such as the card game karuta.

Hokusai's "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" offers a unique visual commentary on these classic poems. The title, which translates to "One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse," suggests a didactic approach, where the illustrations serve to elucidate the themes and emotions of the poems for a broader audience. Each print in the series features a scene that captures the essence of the corresponding poem, often imbued with Hokusai's characteristic dynamism and attention to detail.

The series is notable for its blend of realism and fantasy, as well as its use of vibrant colors and intricate line work. Hokusai's ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through his prints is evident in this series, making it a significant contribution to the Edo period's visual and literary culture. The "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" not only showcases Hokusai's artistic prowess but also reflects his deep appreciation for Japan's poetic heritage, bridging the gap between visual art and literature in a way that continues to resonate with audiences today.
