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 50, Fujiwara no Yoshitaka, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Even the life that / I'd not have been sorry to lose / just to meet you once, / now, having met, I think: / 'I want it to last forever'!" The image shows a futon in a Japanese house with messy bedclothes and a sumptuous, exquisitely embroidered silk bed spread, crumpled by the bedside. The bedspread has the sheen of silk and a highly ornate bird-and-blossom pattern in exquisite colors - shades of green, pink, magenta, burgundy and yellow - and is the focus of the image. The silk bedspread symbolizes the poet's love for his lover on the morning after. The stark bed and room contrast sharply with the floral sumptuousness of the bedspread. The image is rendered as an exceedingly detailed, highly symbolic zentangle-like woodcut, with strong, rich and varied colors. Extreme detail, clarity of rendering, timeless, symbolical motif combined with a classical woodcut and contemporary zentangle esthetic and masterful technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
