Artist16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 37, Fun’ya no Asayasu, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "In the autumn fields / When the heedless wind blows by / Over the pure-white dew, / How the myriad unstrung gems / Are scattered everywhere around." This poem uses fairly common imagery: Glistening, refractive, rainbow-color-reflecting, opalescent, sparkling, jewel-like dewdrops densely covering the crumpled leaves of fall shine like pearls and gemstones in the ukrainian colors yellow blue. The image focuses on the sunshine on fallen leaves on the forest floor and their sparkly dewdrops. Some leaves are being whirled about by the wind, spraying their gemstone-like dewdrops through the air to create a glittering spectacle with a bokeh esthetic. The gust of wind is made visible by almost comic-like parallel lines and curls. Combination watercolor and woodcut, executed in a style reminiscent of Kawase Hasui. Deft execution, whimsical, peaceful, nature motif. Old masters' technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
A radiant landscape features golden rays breaking through a whimsical sky, scattered with vibrant leaves and colorful bubbles, creating a magical, dreamlike atmosphere in a grassy field.
