"Dignitary Ariwara no Narihira, From the Series Sanjūrokkasen" is a woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Suzuki Harunobu, who was active during the Edo period. This print is part of Harunobu's series depicting the Thirty-Six Poetic Immortals (Sanjūrokkasen), a group of medieval Japanese poets renowned for their exceptional contributions to the waka form of poetry. The series showcases Harunobu's delicate and innovative use of multiple blocks to achieve a wide range of colors and his pioneering of the nishiki-e technique, which came to be known as "brocade prints."

The print in question portrays Ariwara no Narihira, a notable courtier and poet from the Heian period, recognized for his romantic escapades and his inclusion in the anthology of classical Japanese poetry, the Kokin Wakashū. Harunobu's depiction is not merely a portrait but a visual interpretation that often includes symbolic elements and references to Narihira's poetry or anecdotes from his life. Harunobu's work is characterized by its elegant figures, refined use of color, and lyrical composition, which harmoniously blend to evoke the poetic sensibilities of the Heian era.

As a part of the Sanjūrokkasen series, this print would have appealed to the literate and culturally savvy Edo audience, who would have been familiar with the poets and their works. Harunobu's prints were highly sought after for their beauty and the cultural prestige they conferred upon their owners. Today, "Dignitary Ariwara no Narihira, From the Series Sanjūrokkasen" is considered an important work within Harunobu's oeuvre and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the development of full-color printing in Japan. The series exemplifies the integration of literary themes into visual art, a hallmark of ukiyo-e, and reflects the rich cultural interplay between the poetic and visual arts during the Edo period.
