Otomo No Yakamochi From The Series "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" (One Hundred Poems As Explained By The Nurse) is a notable artwork created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai, who lived from 1760 to 1849, is best known for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints and paintings. This particular work is part of a series that illustrates the famous anthology of classical Japanese poetry known as the "Hyakunin Isshu," which translates to "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets."

The "Hyakunin Isshu" anthology was compiled by the poet Fujiwara no Teika in the early 13th century and has since become a cornerstone of Japanese literature. Each poem in the anthology is a tanka, a traditional form of Japanese poetry consisting of five lines with a syllabic pattern of 5-7-5-7-7. The anthology includes works from poets spanning several centuries, offering a rich tapestry of themes such as love, nature, and the impermanence of life.

Hokusai's series "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" brings these classical poems to life through his masterful woodblock prints. The title of the series, which translates to "One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse," suggests a didactic purpose, where the illustrations serve to elucidate the meanings and contexts of the poems for the viewer. Each print in the series typically features a portrait of the poet alongside a visual interpretation of their poem, blending literary and visual art in a way that enhances the appreciation of both.

Otomo no Yakamochi, one of the poets featured in this series, was a prominent figure in the Nara period and is known for his contributions to the "Man'yoshu," the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry. Hokusai's depiction of Otomo no Yakamochi captures the essence of his poetry, often characterized by its elegance and depth of emotion.

Through this series, Hokusai not only pays homage to the literary giants of Japan's past but also showcases his own artistic prowess, making "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" a significant cultural artifact that bridges the worlds of poetry and visual art.
