The "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" (One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse) is a renowned series of woodblock prints by the celebrated Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This series, created in the early 19th century during the Edo period, is a visual interpretation of the classic anthology of Japanese poetry known as the "Hyakunin Isshu" (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each). The anthology, compiled by the poet Fujiwara no Teika in the 13th century, consists of one hundred waka poems by one hundred different poets, spanning several centuries of Japanese literary history.

Hokusai's "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" is notable for its unique approach to the traditional subject matter. The title translates to "One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse," suggesting that the series was intended to provide an accessible and engaging explanation of these classic poems, possibly aimed at a broader audience, including those who might not be well-versed in classical Japanese literature. Each print in the series features a visual depiction of the poem's theme or story, accompanied by the text of the poem itself.

One of the prints in this series is dedicated to the poet Sarumaru Dayu, a semi-legendary figure whose exact historical identity remains uncertain. Sarumaru Dayu is traditionally associated with the Heian period and is often depicted as a courtier or nobleman. His poem in the "Hyakunin Isshu" is a melancholic reflection on the ephemeral nature of life and the beauty of the changing seasons, themes that are common in classical Japanese poetry.

Hokusai's depiction of Sarumaru Dayu's poem captures the essence of these themes through intricate and evocative imagery. The artist's masterful use of color, composition, and detail brings the poem to life, allowing viewers to experience the emotional depth and aesthetic beauty of the original text. The "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" series, including the print dedicated to Sarumaru Dayu, stands as a testament to Hokusai's artistic genius and his ability to bridge the worlds of visual art and literature.
