Prompt

16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 22, Fun’ya no Yasuhide, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "It is by its breath That autumn's leaves of trees and grass are wasted and driven. So they call this mountain wind The wild one, the destroyer." The image shows a side view of a richly wooded, sloping mountainside in late fall. A gale-force gust of wind is blowing down the mountainside quite dramatically and, for the sake of the viewer, with a visible pattern. The wind is blowing red and yellow leaves before it, and bending grasses all the way to the ground. The leaves swirl and twirl in the crisp fall air. The red and yellow of the trees and leaves contrast sharply with the white pattern used to visualize the wind against an electric blue sky. Intricate watercolor overlaid with a woodblock print. Exquisite Japanese folio.
