"The Thirty-six Immortal Poets" (三十六歌仙, Sanjūrokkasen) is a renowned series of paintings by Tosa Mitsuoki, a prominent 17th-century Japanese painter from the Tosa school. The series depicts the classical poets of Japan who were designated as the "Immortal Poets" due to their significant contributions to the waka poetry tradition. These poets, selected from different periods and social backgrounds, were celebrated for their mastery of poetic expression and had been revered since the Heian period.

Tosa Mitsuoki, born in 1617, was instrumental in reviving the Tosa school's fortunes, which specialized in the yamato-e style of painting, characterized by its focus on Japanese subjects and narrative scenes. Mitsuoki's rendition of the Thirty-six Immortal Poets typically features individual portraits of each poet, often accompanied by a short verse from their work and set against a backdrop that reflects the aesthetic and cultural values of the Edo period.

Each painting in the series is meticulously crafted, showcasing Mitsuoki's delicate brushwork and refined use of color. The series not only serves as an homage to the rich literary history of Japan but also exemplifies the Tosa school's dedication to preserving and advancing classical Japanese art forms. Mitsuoki's work is distinguished by its elegance and attention to detail, which captures the essence of the poets and their contributions to the tapestry of Japanese culture.

The Thirty-six Immortal Poets series by Tosa Mitsuoki is considered an important cultural artifact and is highly valued for its historical and artistic significance. It provides a window into the world of Japanese poetry and the visual arts of the Edo period, reflecting the interconnectedness of literary and visual expression in Japanese cultural heritage.
