"Poem by Ono no Komachi" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, created between 1835 and 1836. The print, a horizontal *ōban*, depicts a serene landscape with cherry blossoms, thatched-roof houses, and figures engaged in daily activities. Hokusai’s signature vibrant colors and meticulous detail showcase the beauty of nature and the simplicity of rural life in Edo-era Japan. This woodblock print is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s collection, a testament to Hokusai's enduring artistic legacy and his mastery of the *ukiyo-e* style.
