Ono no Komachi (小野小町) is a Japanese female poet from the 9th century. There are no pictures or sculptures of her, but she was believed to be the most beautiful woman in Japan. She is described as having been as beautiful as Cleopatra. In contrast to the popularity of her poems, we know almost nothing about her life, such as her birthday, birth place, her family, where she lived, the date of her death, etc.
