  • Prompt: 16:9 format of a painstakingly crafted, extremely detailed, multilayer, delicate lithograph and multilayered woodblock rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 35, Ki no Tsurayuki, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "The depths of the hearts / Of humankind cannot be known. / But in my birthplace / The plum blossoms smell the same / As in the years gone by." The image shows an unassuming-looking, older, contemporary Japanese man looking out of a train window, his head resting on his palm, and his elbow on the windowsill. He is contemplating the sunny, early spring landscape outside the train window. As if in a perfect snapshot, a single, magnificent plum tree in full bloom stands on a grassy meadow and can be seen right in the middle of the windowpane, with only the left side of the tree slightly obscured by the profile of the man looking out of the window. Combination watercolor and woodcut, executed in a style reminiscent of Kawase Hasui. Deft execution, introspective, peaceful, melancholy motif. The view out of the window is rendered in pastel spring colors, contrasting with the darker, shaded tones of the man inside the train window. Old masters' technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
