		Komachi (こまち) is the sole service running on the Akita Shinkansen, using only E3 Series trains.
		Because it then runs on tracks that have grade crossings, its maximum speed from Morioka to Akita is 130 km/h, compared to 275 km/h on the first leg.
		The Komachi service was named after a famous poet from the area, Ono no Komachi, whose name (小町) is also synonymous with "belle" or "beauty" in Japanese.

		Ono no Komachi was a great Japanese poetess and her birth and death is unknown.
		Komachi’s status was due to her Waka in the first Imperial Anthology, the Kokinshu that was compiled in 900 C.E. 18 out of 22 of her poems from the imperial collection Gosenshu are believed to be authentic and 4 of those are believed to be genuine, or real and from her.
		Komachi lived in a literal family and was an attendant for the Emperor Nimmei and while she was an attendant she began to trade poems with major male poets of the mid-800’s.

	Ono no Komachi
		The form of almost all the Kokinshu poems, and all of Ono no Komachi's, is the tanka, almost the only pattern used in Japanese poetry until, 800 years later, the haiku became established--by dropping the last two lines of the tanka.
		Ono no Komachi was evidently one of these, early in the period, who then became legend.
		One of these was Shii no Shoshu, a captain that she required to keep vigil outside her home for a hundred nights.

		Ono no Komachi was celebrated for her poetic talent, her stunning beauty during her youth, her trifling with amorous men, and her suffering from decrepitude and destitution in old age.
		After this identification of the female corpse as Ono no Komachi became established in the Edo period, the cadaver in antecedent versions of the painting of the nine stages, including the Raigoji version, has been incorrectly and anachronistically regarded by some as a biographical image of the ninth-century poet.
		There is no historical evidence to substantiate this anecdote, but it seems to be another instance in which the identity of the female corpse was misrepresented in order to connect the image with a legendary beauty.

		Although Komachi was singled out for praise in the first imperial anthology of poetry, almost nothing is known about her life except for what we can guess from a few brief prefaces to surviving poems, most of them love poems.
		Later Komachi’s parents die, leaving her destitute, and she grows old, eventually wandering the countryside in a semi-mad state (Sotoba Komachi and Sekidera Komachi).She dies on Ichiwara moor.

		Ono no Komachi, who flourished in the middle of the 9th Century, is considered one of the masters of her craft.
		Komachi had numerous lovers, but was always frustrated in love, and in her later years, mourned the loss of her beauty, keeping apart from the world, and adopting a Buddhist outlook on the transitory nature of existence.
		Less promiscuous perhaps, but no less passionate in her approach to love and life, Izumi brings the tanka to its apotheosis, filling this small form with as much artistry, philosophical inquisitiveness, beauty of assonance and sounds, and poignance, as it would seem possible.

		Her poetry dates from the period 833-857, and she seems to have engaged in poetic exchanges with contemporaries such as Fun'ya no Yasuhide, Archbishop Henjô and Ôshikôchi no Mitsune.
		The poetry itself is evidence of a passionate nature, and fed tales of her as a great beauty of her age.
		Komachi is, perhaps, the earliest and best example of a passionate woman poet in the Japanese canon, outshining her contemporary Ise, and starting a tradition continued by Izumi Shikibu in a later age and Yosano Akiko in the modern one.

		In other words, in keeping with her thesis that mono no ke possessions were women's weapons "to counter male strategies of empowerment," Bargen suggests that it is Yûgao's way of getting back at Genji for his treatment of her.
		There is no doubt some aspect of that present, but perhaps Bargen overstates her case by assuming that women like Yûgao gained nothing from a liaison with Genji and that the issue was so cut and dried.

		Within a hundred years of her death Komachi had become the stuff of legend (see online): most of the stories about her appear to have been based on her poems, which are about love and the melancholy that it involves.
		A 2001 essay on Ono no Komachi by Christopher Cokinos is perhaps a good place to start: it introduces Komachi and the Heian court and includes three poems, translated by Donald Keene and by Arthur Waley.
