Minamoto no Hitoshi from the series "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" (One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse) is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai, who lived from 1760 to 1849, is best known for his iconic series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," but his extensive body of work includes a wide range of subjects and styles, including this particular series which delves into classical Japanese poetry.

The "Hyakunin Isshu" is a classical anthology of one hundred Japanese waka poems by one hundred different poets. Compiled by Fujiwara no Teika in the early 13th century, this collection has been a significant cultural touchstone in Japan, inspiring various forms of art and literature over the centuries. Hokusai's "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" series offers a visual interpretation of these poems, providing a unique blend of literary and visual art.

Minamoto no Hitoshi, a poet from the mid-Heian period, is one of the contributors to the "Hyakunin Isshu." His poem, like others in the anthology, is a tanka, a traditional Japanese poetic form consisting of five lines with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable structure. Hokusai's depiction of Minamoto no Hitoshi's poem captures the essence of the verse through intricate and expressive imagery, characteristic of his style.

In Hokusai's print, the artist employs his masterful use of line and color to bring the poem to life, often incorporating elements of nature, human figures, and symbolic motifs that resonate with the themes of the poem. The series not only showcases Hokusai's artistic prowess but also serves as an educational tool, offering insights into the cultural and poetic heritage of Japan.

"Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" stands as a testament to Hokusai's versatility and his ability to transcend the boundaries between different art forms. Through this series, Hokusai not only honors the literary tradition of the "Hyakunin Isshu" but also enriches it with his distinctive visual interpretation, making the ancient poems accessible and engaging to a broader audience.
