Ono No Komachi, from the series "Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki" (The Hundred Poems as Told by the Nurse), is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This series, produced during the Edo period, is a visual interpretation of the classic anthology "Hyakunin Isshu," which comprises one hundred poems by one hundred different poets. Hokusai, celebrated for his mastery in ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world), brings to life the poetic essence of each verse through his intricate and evocative artwork.

Ono No Komachi, a legendary poetess from the Heian period, is one of the most prominent figures featured in this series. Known for her beauty and her poignant, melancholic poetry, Komachi's works often explore themes of love, impermanence, and the passage of time. Hokusai's depiction of Komachi captures the ethereal and transient nature of her poetry, blending delicate lines and subtle colors to evoke a sense of both grace and sorrow.

In "Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki," Hokusai not only illustrates the poems but also adds a narrative layer by incorporating the figure of an old nurse who recounts the stories behind each poem. This innovative approach provides a deeper context and enriches the viewer's understanding of the historical and emotional background of the poems. The series is a testament to Hokusai's ability to merge literary and visual art forms, creating a multidimensional experience that resonates with the viewer on multiple levels.

Hokusai's portrayal of Ono No Komachi is particularly notable for its attention to detail and emotional depth. The artist's skillful use of composition, color, and line work brings out the delicate beauty and profound sadness that characterize Komachi's poetry. This print, like others in the series, serves as a bridge between the literary and visual arts, offering a unique glimpse into the cultural and artistic heritage of Japan.
