"Otomo no Yakamochi from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki'" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's series illustrating the "Hyakunin Isshu," an anthology of one hundred poems by one hundred poets compiled by Fujiwara no Teika in the 13th century. The series title, "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki," translates to "One Hundred Poets Explained by the Nurse," and features a didactic approach where each print is accompanied by a depiction of a nurse or old woman providing commentary on the poems.

In this particular print, Hokusai portrays Otomo no Yakamochi (718–785), a prominent Japanese poet and statesman known for his contributions to the "Man'yōshū," the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry. Yakamochi's inclusion in the "Hyakunin Isshu" is a testament to his enduring influence on Japanese literature. Hokusai's work captures the essence of Yakamochi's poetry, characterized by its emotive content and connection to the natural world, which was a common theme in classical Japanese poetry.

The artistic style of the print is typical of Hokusai's work, with a keen attention to detail, bold use of color, and dynamic composition. The series "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" is celebrated for its fusion of visual art and classical literature, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of Edo-period Japan. Hokusai's prints from this series are considered important cultural artifacts and are highly valued by collectors and scholars of Japanese art and literature.

As an influential figure in the ukiyo-e movement, Hokusai's depictions of the poets from the "Hyakunin Isshu" have contributed significantly to the visual interpretation of classical Japanese poetry, making the series an essential part of the artist's oeuvre and a valuable resource for understanding the interplay between text and image in Japanese cultural history.
