EDITORS COMMENTS
**Poet No.6: Chünagon (Ötomo no) Yakamochi**
From the esteemed series "Hyakunin isshu" (), c.1844, this exquisite print captures Poet No.6, Ötomo no Yakamochi (), in a moment of contemplation and artistic expression. Renowned artist Utagawa Kunisada () masterfully depicts the poet's introspective gaze as he holds his fan-like writing instrument, kochoro (). The intricate details of his kimono, adorned with traditional Japanese motifs such as kinraisha (gold leaf) and gepparo (), are a testament to the artistry of Edo period fashion.
In this full-length portrait, Ötomo no Yakamochi's dignified posture conveys his stature as a prominent poet during Japan's Heian era. The subtle play of light on his garments adds depth and dimensionality to the piece, while the artist's use of color woodcut techniques creates a rich, vibrant atmosphere.
This stunning print is part of "Hyakunin isshu" (), an iconic series that celebrates Japanese literature and culture. As one of Kunisada's most celebrated works, it showcases his exceptional skill in capturing the essence of Japan's literary heritage. (Heritage Images)
