  • Prompt: Fully 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 63, Sakyō Daibu Michimasa, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Now, the only thing / I wish for is a way to say / to you directly / - not through another- / 'I will think of you no longer!'" The image shows the poet, Sakyō Daibu Michimasa, sitting alone and contemplating his ill-fated affair with a 15-year old High Priestess. The poet is sitting cross-legged on a simple tatami mat in a simple hut. Behind him, we see his thoughts in a double exposure: He is thinking about the young High Priestess, Princess Masako, standing regal in the Ise Shrine. The poet will never see her again, and was not even allowed to say good-bye. Finest linocut additionally colored with wet watercolor. Compelling double exposure, every detail of the tatami mat and the poets clothing finely worked with the linocutter's tool. The double exposure showing the scene with the High Priestess is executed in dark colors and in a bokeh esthetic. Deft execution, melancholy motif. Superlative technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
