Prompt: 16:9 format of a painstakingly detailed, multilayer, delicate lithograph and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 31, Sakanoue no Korenori, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "At the break of day, / Just as though the morning moon / Lightened the dim scene, / Yoshino's village lay / In a haze of falling snow.on." The image shows a hazy moon shining on Yohino valley in a dim, slow, struggling winter dawn. Snow is slowly drifting through the sky, settling on the houses in Yoshino valley in the hazy light of a nearly transparent moon. It is still and cold, with the main colors being shades of gray, blue and white. Yellow light shines from the windows of the houses in the valley below. Highly detailed, intricate, mulitlayer lithograph and woodcut execution. Old masters' technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
Prompt: 16:9 format of a painstakingly detailed, multilayer, delicate lithograph and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 30, Mibu no Tadamine, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "There is nothing so depressing / as the break of day / and leaving you after / having seen the heartless / morning moon." The image shows only part of the moon, a last quarter (or third-quarter) moon, which looks like a half-moon, in a ghostly bone-white in the sky at dawn. The horizon is turning pink and golden, whereas the sky above is still progressively darker blue. The horizon consists of a single, sinously curved mountain line, curved like the body of a woman lying on her side, but the landscape is still mostly pitch-black with shades of blue. The horizon and sky make up 90% of the image, whereas the mountain line and the landscape below accoutn fro only 10% of the image. Chilly ambiance, executed in the highly detailed, intricate, lithograph and watercolor wash technique. Exquisite Japanese folio.
