Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
Edo period
Japanese woodblock print, 'Poem by Fujiwara no Michinobu Ason', from the series 'One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse' (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki), signed Zen Hokusai and with red manji, published by Nishimuraya Yohachi [Eijudo], oban yoko-e, 25.7cm x 37.5cm, mounted, glazed and framed.
Travellers setting out at the first blush of dawn is one of Hokusai's favourite themes; in this case, the perfect setting for this love poem by Fujiwara Michinobu Ason (972–994):
Akenureba
kururu mono to wa
shirinagara
naho ayashiki
asaborake ka na.
Although I know morning will bring
another evening for our love
I still resent the dawn

葛饰北斋（1760-1849）
江户时期
日本木版画，《百人一首释义：藤原道信朝臣之诗》（Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki），署名“禅北斋”并有红色卍字，由西村屋与八（荣寿堂）出版，横幅大版，25.7cm x 37.5cm，装裱并镶框。
旅行者在黎明初现时出发是北斋最喜欢的主题之一；在这种情况下，这是藤原道信朝臣（972-994）的爱情诗的完美背景：
虽然我知道早晨会带来
另一个夜晚来延续我们的爱
我仍然怨恨黎明
