Correspondence is inspired by Emperor Ichijō of Heian-era Japan and his enduring devotion to Empress Teishi. After her father’s death, court power shifted and her position weakened. She remained empress in name, but lived within increasing isolation, long before her death. During this period, poetry became refuge. It functioned as private correspondence, sustained quietly within a rigid public order. After her death, the demand to erase her memory intensified. Ichijō did not comply. Meaning was preserved without disruption. Her poems remained beside him. Her name continued to be honored within the system that sought to remove it. The composition reflects that restraint. Symmetry holds. Variation occurs only within bounds. Absence and presence are balanced, not declared. Correspondence does not depict devotion as spectacle. It depicts devotion maintained through structure. A narrative illustration issued as a single edition of 50. Archived upon completion.
