Painting Description
"Tenchi Tenno from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki' (One Hundred Poems as Explained by the Nurse)" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this work is part of a larger series that visually interprets a classical anthology of Japanese waka poetry known as the "Hyakunin Isshu." This anthology, compiled by Fujiwara no Teika in the 13th century, is a collection of 100 poems by 100 different poets, ranging from the 7th to the 13th centuries.
Hokusai's series, "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki," translates to "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse," and it features a unique approach to illustrating these poems. In each print, Hokusai depicts a scene or a character that encapsulates the essence of the respective poem, accompanied by a commentary from an imagined nurse, who serves as a narrator, providing context and interpretation to the poem's content and themes.
The specific print "Tenchi Tenno" refers to the poem by Emperor Tenchi, who was the 38th emperor of Japan, reigning from 668 to 671. His poem is the second in the Hyakunin Isshu anthology and expresses a longing for a loved one during a time of separation. Hokusai's visual representation of this poem captures the emotional depth and the personal nature of the emperor's words, while the nurse's explanation adds a layer of storytelling, making the classical poetry accessible to a broader audience of his time.
Hokusai's innovative combination of visual art and literature in this series not only reflects his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique but also his deep engagement with Japanese cultural heritage. "Tenchi Tenno from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki'" is a testament to Hokusai's ability to bridge the gap between the aristocratic world of classical poetry and the popular culture of the Edo period's urban populace. This series is highly regarded for its artistic merit and its role in preserving and reinterpreting the rich tapestry of Japanese poetic tradition.
