Artist16:9 format of a painstakingly detailed, multilayer, delicate lithograph and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 30, Mibu no Tadamine, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "There is nothing so depressing / as the break of day / and leaving you after / having seen the heartless / morning moon." The image shows only part of the moon, a last quarter (or third-quarter) moon, which looks like a half-moon, in a ghostly bone-white in the sky at dawn. The horizon is turning pink and golden, whereas the sky above is still progressively darker blue. The horizon consists of a single, sinously curved mountain line, curved like the body of a woman lying on her side, but the landscape is still mostly pitch-black with shades of blue. The horizon and sky make up 90% of the image, whereas the mountain line and the landscape below accoutn fro only 10% of the image. Chilly ambiance, executed in the highly detailed, intricate, lithograph and watercolor wash technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
Thx for the prompt
