9:16 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 26, Teishinkō, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "O autumn leaves / on the peak of Ogural Hill, / if you have a heart, / I would that you would wait / for one more royal progress." The image shows a single, old, large, magnificent Japanese maple tree with a gnarled trunk, winding branches, and feathery, scarlet leaves. The tree stands on a gently sloping, green, grassy mountainside. Some maple leaves are drifting downward on a breeze; they are curled into heart shapes. The leaves are awaiting a visit by the emperor. The patterns in the image are highly complex, with a woodcut esthetic. Exquisite Japanese folio.
A woman in a stunning white gown with autumn leaf accents stands gracefully in a traditional room. She holds a decorative umbrella, exuding elegance amidst a serene backdrop.
