''Ehon Kyoka - Yama Mata Yama'' (絵本狂歌 山又山), translated as ''Album Illustre De Poesies Parodiques. Montagnes Encore Montagnes'', is a notable work by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎). Created during the Edo period, this illustrated book is a collection that merges the visual and literary arts, featuring Hokusai's distinctive woodblock prints alongside kyōka, or "mad poems," which are humorous or satirical variations of traditional Japanese waka poetry.

The title ''Yama Mata Yama'' can be interpreted as "Mountains, Again Mountains," reflecting the thematic focus on mountainous landscapes—a subject Hokusai revisited throughout his career, most famously in his series ''Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji''. The book is part of Hokusai's extensive oeuvre of ehon, or picture books, which often combined images with text to provide both entertainment and edification to the viewer.

In ''Ehon Kyoka - Yama Mata Yama'', Hokusai's illustrations serve as visual accompaniments to the playful and witty kyōka, creating a dialogue between image and verse. The kyōka poems are characterized by their 31-syllable structure, similar to the more solemn tanka, but are distinguished by their comedic and often absurd content. The interplay between Hokusai's art and the kyōka poems offers insights into the popular culture and humor of the Edo period, as well as the artist's own creative versatility.

Hokusai's work on this album exemplifies his mastery of line and composition, as well as his ability to capture the essence of the Japanese landscape with a sense of immediacy and dynamism. The book is a testament to the artist's enduring influence on both Japanese art and the broader world of printmaking. ''Ehon Kyoka - Yama Mata Yama'' remains an important cultural artifact, offering modern audiences a glimpse into the rich tradition of Japanese woodblock prints and the playful side of Edo literary culture.
