The image shows Inaba mountain, on whose slopes a verdant pine forest grows, in the distance.

• 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 18, Fujiwara no Toshiyuki, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "Must you so avoid others’ eyes that not even at night, along the road of dreams, will you draw nigh like the waves to the shore of Sumi-no-e Bay?" This poem was an entry in a poetry contest by accomplished poet and calligrapher Fujiwara no Toshiyuki. The image personifying the poem shows waves lapping the shore of Sumi-no-e Bay (Osaka Bay) at night. The stars are shining brightly; their silvery light reflects off the waves and the foam that decorates their edges on the shore. The sky is underlaid with a very delicate, barely noticeable calligraphic line pattern of two lovers engaged in a forbidden tryst lying across the entire sky, as if in a dream, almost obscured by the light of the twinkling stars. Exquisite Japanese folio.

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: 16:9 format of a delicate ink and watercolor wash rendering on rough handmade paper of poem number 22, Fun’ya no Yasuhide, of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: "It is by its breath That autumn's leaves of trees and grass are wasted and driven.

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.
