16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper Minamoto no Muneyuki Ason, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "In the mountain village, / it is in autumn that my loneliness / increases most, / when I think how both have dried up, / the grasses and people's visits." The image shows a remote Japanese house of antiquity on a mountain slope. A low-ranking official of the Heian Court is peering out of the window of his house. The image is carefully executed as an imaginative linocut with hand coloring in watercolor. Shades of blue, white and gray predominate, with the only touch of color being the yellow light in the window and the figure of the Japanese court official in the window. Exquisite Japanese folio.
A Japanese watercolor painting depicting a village nestled in a valley, with traditional houses featuring dark roofs and light-colored walls arranged on a grassy hillside. A gentle river flows in the foreground with smooth, light-colored water reflecting the sky, and several large, dark rocks are scattered along its banks and within the water. Vibrant autumn trees with leaves in shades of red, orange, and yellow are prominent throughout the scene, contrasting with the dark green and black foliage of other trees. In the background, muted mountains rise under a light, overcast sky. The painting includes a small red seal and delicate Japanese calligraphy in the upper left corner.
