Prompt
Scene: fishing boats returning to a small harbour in autumn wind, a snow-capped volcanic peak in the distance, stylised curling waves or clouds, small figures going about daily life.
Composition: strong diagonals, flat layered planes, large areas of sky.
Colour: Prussian blue, indigo, muted rust red and soft beige paper, with subtle bokashi colour gradation in the sky.
Technique: bold carved outlines, flat colour blocks, visible woodgrain and paper fibre texture, slight registration offset.
Style: traditional Edo-period woodblock print, original composition, not a copy of any famous print.
Format: horizontal 3:2
Avoid: copying famous prints exactly, readable Japanese text or seals, 3D shading, photorealism, modern objects, watermarks.
