The poet Yacuren and a companion strolling in a grove of yew trees, 歌川国芳 (Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 1798 - 1861). This selection is from one hundred prints illustrating the Japanese poetry antology called the Hyakunin isshu, which was compiled by the poet Fuhiwara Teika 1162-1241. The Hyakunin isshu has always been a popular subject and part of the japanese culture it has even taken the form of a card game. This print illustrates one autumn evening while the monk jakuren and a companion are strolling past a grove of yew trees. Rays of light shine throught the haze.
