ArtistFully 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 62, Sei Shōnagon, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "The rooster's crowing / In the middle of the night / Deceived the hearers; / But at Osaka's gateway / The guards are never fooled." The image shows a magnificant, colorful rooster with ruffled feathers and wings open wide crowing zestily. He is sitting atop a pile of hay outside a lowly shed at midnight, and is lit by the half-moon. The image of the rooster completely dominates the picture. Ever details of his colorful feathers and cock's comb can be made out. Finest linocut additionally colored with wet watercolor. Magnificent feathers, very detailed hay in the haystack, every detail of the planks of wood of the shed behind the haystack finely worked with the linocutter's tool. Dark sky with a pale moon. Deft execution, whimsical nature motif. Superlative technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.

A vibrant rooster with striking feathers in shades of red, blue, and green stands atop a straw pile, crowing against a moody backdrop of a moonlit night and a rustic wooden shed.
