Fujiwara no Toshiyuki from the series "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" (One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse) is a notable work by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. This series, created in the early 19th century, represents a unique fusion of visual art and classical Japanese literature, specifically the anthology of waka poetry known as the "Hyakunin Isshu." Hokusai's series is distinguished by its innovative approach of visually interpreting each of the one hundred poems, which were originally compiled in the thirteenth century by Fujiwara no Teika, a prominent poet and scholar.

The "Hyakunin Isshu" is celebrated for its comprehensive collection of poems spanning several centuries, featuring works from emperors, court ladies, samurai, and monks, thereby encapsulating a wide spectrum of Japanese society and its emotional landscape. Hokusai, leveraging his mastery in ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints, embarked on the ambitious project of illustrating these poems, adding a layer of narrative and visual interpretation that was both educational and entertaining.

In the specific print featuring Fujiwara no Toshiyuki, Hokusai brings to life the elegance and depth of the poet's work, capturing not only the essence of the poem but also providing insights into the cultural and historical context of the Heian period, during which Toshiyuki lived. The series title, "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki," translates to "One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse," indicating that these illustrations were intended to serve as a form of storytelling or explanation, perhaps aimed at a younger or broader audience unfamiliar with the classical poems.

Hokusai's artistry in this series is characterized by his keen attention to detail, dynamic composition, and the ability to convey deep emotions and stories through the medium of print. Each piece in the series, including the one featuring Fujiwara no Toshiyuki, is a testament to Hokusai's innovative spirit and his contribution to the Edo period's rich cultural tapestry. Through works like "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki," Hokusai not only immortalized the poetic heritage of Japan but also expanded the possibilities of ukiyo-e as a form of artistic expression.
