Prompt

Full-screen, complete width, broad, 16:9 format of an extremely detailed, finely cut, multilayer linocut showing the topic of poem number 83, Dōin Hōshi, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "From this world I think / That there is nowhere to escape. / I wanted to hide / In the mountains' farthest depths; / But there I hear the stag's cry." see light from the hallway shining on an old, closed, heavy-plank wooden basement door. The door has a brass knob and shield-mounted stag antlers. The basement door leads to a refuge for the plagued poet to hide away when the worl becomes too much for him. Highly symbolic image. The linocut is so fine that we see every single wood fiber of the door's planks perfectly lit in dimensional detail, every twist and turn of the antlers, and every spot on the brass doorknob. Exquisite Japanese linocut folio in full 16:9 width.
