"Abe no Nakamaro, from the Series Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki (The Hundred Poems as Told by the Nurse)" is a renowned woodblock print by the eminent Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This work is part of a larger series that visually interprets the "Hyakunin Isshu," a classical anthology of one hundred Japanese waka poems by one hundred poets. Hokusai's series, known for its vivid storytelling and intricate designs, showcases the artist's mastery in ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868).

The specific print featuring Abe no Nakamaro is significant for its depiction of the historical figure Abe no Nakamaro (698–770), a celebrated scholar, administrator, and poet of the Nara period. Nakamaro, also known by his Chinese name Chao Heng, spent much of his life in Tang China, where he achieved high official rank. The poem associated with him in the Hyakunin Isshu expresses his longing for his homeland while gazing at the moon, a poignant theme that Hokusai captures with sensitivity and depth.

Hokusai's portrayal is not just a literal representation but an evocative interpretation that blends the poet's emotional state with elements of nature and the universe, embodying the essence of Japanese aesthetics and the interconnectedness of human emotions with the natural world. The series "Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki" is celebrated for its ability to convey the depth of the poems through visual art, making the literary work accessible and engaging to a broader audience.

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is one of the most famous names in Japanese art, and his works have had a profound influence not only in Japan but also in the development of Western art, particularly Impressionism. The "Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki" series is a testament to Hokusai's innovative approach to art and his skill in capturing the essence of Japanese culture and literature. This particular print of Abe no Nakamaro is a prime example of Hokusai's genius, blending poetry, history, and art in a manner that is both aesthetically pleasing and deeply meaningful.
