Ogura Hyakunin Isshu No. 17 - Ariwara no Narihira

• Model: AIVision

• Size: 5460 X 3071 (16.77 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: 16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 17, Ariwara no Narihira, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Unheard of even in the legendary age of the awsome gods: Tatsuta River in scarlet and the water flowing under it." This particular poem, and the image it conjures up, is a masterpiece. We see scarlet Japanese maples lining the bank of the scenic, gently flowing Tatsuta River. The golden sun is shining on this day in fall, and the maple trees are very gradually losing their foliage. Leaves are lazily floating downward through the air, and cover nearly the entire surface of the river. The leaf-covered river shimmers in tones of scarlet and burgundy as the leaves slowly floating downriver. Poignant image perfectly capturing the essence of autumn. Exquisite Japanese folio.

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: 16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 9, Ono no Komachi, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Color of the flower Has already faded away, While in idle thoughts My life passes vainly by, As I watch the long rains fall." The image shows a back view of a middle-aged woman standing at a large picture window in the 35th floor of a skyscraper. She is gazing outside at the rain. We see a reflection in the windowpane of a pale, perfect calla lily in a vase. It is evening, and behind the reflection fo the calla lily, and behind the rain outside, we can make out the blurry outlines of many lit windows in nearby skyscrapers. The ambiance is one of wistfulness and loneliness, as the woman stands forlorn at the window. Exquisite modern Japanese folio.

The image shows a silvery mountain creek cascading over rocks and pooling at the right-lower-hand corner of the image, where a pile of wet, bunched-up maple leaves turned soggy and brown lies on the creek, stlowing down the flow and damming up the waters. More red maple leaves are falling from the trees above, fluttering through the cold air. The sides of the small brook are iced over with thin shards of late-autumn ice. A pale, yellow sun catches in the reflections of the stream and the wet rocks. Lithograph and woodcut execution in styles reminiscent of Kawase Hasui. Deft execution, introspective nature motif.

A gale-force gust of wind is blowing down the mountainside quite dramatically and, for the sake of the viewer, with a visible pattern. The wind is blowing red and yellow leaves before it, and bending grasses all the way to the ground. The leaves swirl and twirl in the crisp fall air. The red and yellow of the trees and leaves contrast sharply with the white pattern used to visualize the wind against an electric blue sky. Intricate watercolor overlaid with a woodblock print.

“Menmaru” the Noodle Slurper

• Model: AIVision

• Size: 1512 X 1536 (2.32 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Create a vintage Japanese woodblock illustration featuring an adorable otter joyfully eating noodles from a large, round red bowl. The otter is depicted in a playful pose with its left paw holding chopsticks, while the right paw is submerged in the bowl. The noodles, long and flowing, hang from the chopsticks, suggesting movement and excitement. The background is a textured, vintage-style canvas that includes waves and splashes of water, enhancing the whimsical nature of the scene. Incorporate subtle hints of Asian calligraphy and traditional Japanese motifs, including seals and symbols, to give the artwork an authentic feel. The color palette should be warm, combining earthy tones with bold reds and soft cream backgrounds, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. The otter's fur appears detailed and fluffy, and its large, expressive eyes should convey happiness and curiosity, making it a central focal point of the composition.
