Prompt

Fully wide 16:9 format of a painstakingly crafted, extremely detailed, multilayer, delicate lithograph and multilayered wet watercolor rendering in magnificent colors on rough handmade paper of poem number 64, Gonchūnagon Sadayori,of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "In the early dawn / When the mists on Uji River / Slowly lift and clear, / From the shallows to the deep, / The stakes of fishing nets appear.'" It is early morning in winter, and the whitish-gray mist lies over the still Uji River, gradually lifting to show a row of dark-gray wooden fishing stakes extending far out into the river. The horizon is the tender pink and yellow of a winter dawn, but the shadows are all shades of gray. Wet-on-wet watercolor, splash painting style, capturing a perfect still moment with aquarelle technique. Skilled and deft execution, peaceful nature motif. Superlative technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
