  • Prompt: 16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 18, Fujiwara no Toshiyuki, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Must you so avoid others’ eyes that not even at night, along the road of dreams, will you draw nigh like the waves to the shore of Sumi-no-e Bay?" This poem was an entry in a poetry contest by accomplished poet and calligrapher Fujiwara no Toshiyuki. The image personifying the poem shows waves lapping the shore of Sumi-no-e Bay (Osaka Bay) at night. The stars are shining brightly; their silvery light reflects off the waves and the foam that decorates their edges on the shore. The sky is underlaid with a very delicate, barely noticeable calligraphic line pattern of two lovers engaged in a forbidden tryst lying across the entire sky, as if in a dream, almost obscured by the light of the twinkling stars. Exquisite Japanese folio.
