About

from the series Sanjurokkasen dojo kyokun kagami (Thirty-six Poets: A Moral Mirror for Women and Children)publisher: Wakasaya Yoichi (Jakurindo) This refined print depicts a graceful woman accompanied by a poem by Minamoto no Kintada no Ason (10th century), one of the Thirty-six Immortal Poets. Inscribed poem: Yukiyarade / yamaji kurashitsu / hototogisu / ima hitokoe no / kikamahohisa ni “I cannot go on, Night falls upon the mountain path, The cuckoo calls; How I long to hear Its voice once more.” The work intertwines feminine beauty with the spiritual resonance of classical poetry, reflecting the Edo-period ideals of culture, refinement, and moral education. Kuniyoshi’s Sanjurokkasen dojo kyokun kagami series unites literary elegance and ethical reflection, celebrating the poetic harmony between emotion, virtue, and aesthetic grace.
