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 61, Isé no Tayū, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "The eight-petalled cherries / from the Nara capital / of the ancient past / today nine layers thick / have bloomed within your court!" The image shows a single, venerable, gnraled, beautiful "yae-zakura" cherry tree whose last, eight-petaled cherry blossoms are still clinging to the tree. The remaining blossoms have fallen to the ground in a shower of pink and white, covering the ground in a thick layer of perfect, fallen petals. The tree stands protected in the corner of a brickwork wall enclosing a palace courtyard, with the April morning sun shining on the tree and casting its shadow on the elaborate terra cotta brickwork of the cozy wall corner behind it. Rendered in highly detailed wet watercolor technique, additionally highlighted with ink. Magenta pink blossoms, deft execution, introspective, peaceful nature motif. Superlative technique reminiscent of John Singer Sargent. Expressionist and highly emotive ambiance. Exquisite Japanese folio.
A vibrant scene featuring pink peony flowers and red fruit among lush green leaves, adorned with droplets of water, evoking a fresh and lively natural aesthetic. Artistic calligraphy adorns the side.
