Prompt

Full-screen, complete width, broad, 16:9 format of a delicate linocut with bokeh edges, rich colors, executed on rough handmade paper of poem number 52, Fujiwara no Michinobu Ason, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Though I know indeed / That the night will come again / After day has dawned, / Still, in truth, I hate the sight / Of the morning's coming light." The image shows a very early, cold dawn outside the window of a spartan room. The light of dawn shows in shades of blue, pale yellow, and delicate orange on the horizon, whereas the sky higher up is still very dark blue. The view of the window toward the Eastern sky is from an unmade bed with crumpled sheets. The image is rendered as an exceedingly detailed, highly symbolic zentangle-like wet watercolor, with strong, rich and varied colors. Extreme detail, clarity of rendering, timeless, symbolical motif combining wet watercolor with a low-poly and contemporary zentangle esthetic. Masterful technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
