Prompt

Full-screen, complete width, broad, 16:9 format of a delicate linocut with bokeh edges, rich colors, executed on rough handmade paper of poem number 49, Onakatomi no Yoshinobu, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Like the guard's fires / Kept at the imperial gateway-- / Burning through the night, / Dull in ashes through the day-- / Is the love aglow in me." The image shows an impressive, massive, ornate,pompous imperial gate to the emperor's court. On the left side and on the right side of the gate, a guard's fire is burning brightly, illuminating the gate and the immediate surroundings. The edges of the image are dark, and the starr-filled sky is dark. The image focuses fully on the guard fires and the ornate gate between them. The fires are burining in metal braziers in the shape of large bowls, and they are sending bright sparks into the air above. The image is rendered as an exceedingly detailed, highly symbolic zentangle-like woodcut, with strong, rich and varied colors. The gate and the fires are executed in profound detail, whereas the surroundings are executed more hastily. The composition is lively. Extreme detail, clarity of rendering, timeless, symbolical motif combined with a classical woodcut and contemporary zentangle esthetic and masterful technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
