Katsushika Hokusai's "No Kakinomoto Hitomaro" created in 1835 is a fascinating example of the mastery of ukiyo-e, a style of Japanese printmaking characterized by its attention to detail, innovative use of color, and ability to tell visual stories through imagery. In this painting, Hokusai presents a depiction of the classical poet Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, a central figure in Japanese literature who lived in the 7th century. Through his work, Hokusai not only pays homage to poetry but also captures the essence of the aesthetics and sensibility of the Edo period.
In “No Kakinomoto Hitomaro,” the composition is notable for its balance and harmony. The main character, Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, is presented in elaborate attire that highlights his importance and places him in a prominent cultural context.

Kakinomoto no Hitomaro
Japanese poet
In this Japanese name, the surname is Kakinomoto.
Kakinomoto no Hitomaro (柿本 人麻呂 or 柿本 人麿; c. 653–655 – c. 707–710) was a Japanese waka poet and aristocrat of the late Asuka period. He was the most prominent of the poets included in the Man'yōshū, the oldest waka anthology, but apart from what can be gleaned from hints in the Man'yōshū, the details of his life are largely uncertain. He was born to the Kakinomoto clan, based in Yamato Province, probably in the 650s, and likely died in Iwami Province around 709.
He served as court poet to Empress Jitō, creating many works praising the imperial family, and is best remembered for his elegies for various imperial princes. He also composed well-regarded travel poems.
He is ranked as one of the Thirty-six Poetry Immortals. Ōtomo no Yakamochi, the presumed compiler of the Man'yōshū, and Ki no Tsurayuki, the principal compiler of the Kokin Wakashū, praised Hitomaro as Sanshi no Mon (山柿の門) and Uta no Hijiri (歌の聖) respectively. From the Heian period on, he was often called Hito-maru (人丸). He has come to be revered as a god of poetry and scholarship, and is considered one of the four greatest poets in Japanese history, along with Fujiwara no Teika, Sōgi and
