"Minamoto no Hitoshi from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki' (One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse)" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created in the early 19th century, this print is part of a larger series that illustrates a selection of classical Japanese poems from the anthology known as "Hyakunin Isshu," which translates to "One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each." This anthology, compiled by the poet Fujiwara no Teika in the 13th century, is a cornerstone of Japanese literature and has been celebrated through various cultural forms, including the visual arts.

Hokusai's series, "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki," offers a unique interpretation of these poems by depicting an elderly nurse (ubaga) explaining their meanings to a young pupil. This educational theme reflects the Edo period's interest in both poetry and didactic imagery. In the specific print featuring Minamoto no Hitoshi, Hokusai visually interprets the poem attributed to this historical figure, bringing to life the emotional and thematic nuances of the verse through his masterful use of composition, color, and line.

The "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" series is celebrated for its blend of literary and artistic achievement, showcasing Hokusai's skill in capturing the essence of each poem while also contributing to the popularization of classical literature among the broader public. The prints from this series are considered important examples of Hokusai's work and contribute to the understanding of cultural and artistic practices in Japan during the Edo period. As with many of Hokusai's prints, "Minamoto no Hitoshi" reflects the artist's innovative approach to ukiyo-e, a genre that he helped to redefine throughout his prolific career.
