Original Description
The woodblock print Minamoto no Tsunenobu from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki' by Katsushika Hokusai captures a serene yet evocative moment from Japan’s classical poetic tradition. Depicting the aristocrat-poet Minamoto no Tsunenobu seated amidst delicate autumn foliage, Hokusai masterfully blends subtle textures and soft color gradients—hallmarks of his ukiyo-e style. The composition feels intimate yet timeless, with Tsunenobu’s contemplative gaze and flowing robes harmonizing with the natural surroundings, evoking the melancholic beauty of waka poetry. Created circa 1835-36, this work is part of Hokusai’s lesser-known but significant Hyakunin Isshu series, which interprets the famed One Hundred Poets anthology through the imagined perspective of an elderly narrator (ubaga etoki). While overshadowed by his Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, this series showcases Hokusai’s lyrical storytelling and deep engagement with Japan’s literary heritage, offering a bridge between Edo-period popular art and Heian-era aristocratic culture.
For a refined yet warm decor scheme, this print would elevate a study, reading nook, or minimalist office. Its muted earth tones—ochre, pale green, and indigo—pair beautifully with natural materials like oak shelves, linen textiles, or a low-contrast tatami-inspired rug. Frame it in a slim black or dark walnut wooden border to honor traditional Japanese aesthetics, and hang it at eye level to invite quiet contemplation. A smaller size (approximately 15 x 10 inches) suits intimate spaces, while a larger format could anchor a gallery wall alongside other ukiyo-e prints or Japonisme-inspired ceramics. Avoid overly bright lighting; soft, indirect illumination will enhance its delicate details and poetic mood, creating a harmonious balance between art and space.
