Each print compares one of the poems from the most-beloved collection of Japanese poetry, \u003ci\u003eThe One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eHyakunin Isshu\u003c\/i\u003e), with a scene from Japanese history or theatre. Begun during the repressive Tenpô Reforms, the series includes many surreptitious portraits of popular actors.
