Edo-period Ukiyo-e reinterpretation of a modern scene
Generation Prompt
A Japanese Edo-period Ukiyo-e woodblock print (浮世絵 木版画). The overall feeling is a surreal collaboration between masters like Hokusai and Hiroshige, reimagining modern technology through an ancient lens. **The Scene:** 繁忙的涩谷十字路口 **Edo Transformation Logic:** Characters wear Edo-era kimono but perform modern actions. All technology is transformed into surreal Edo equivalents: * **Smartphones** are glowing, illustrated paper scrolls being read intently. * **Metro stations/Trains** are giant articulated wooden centipede carriages shuffling through crowds. * **Skyscrapers** are reimagined as endless, towering wooden pagodas reaching into dramatic clouds. * **Robots/Mecha** appear as giant, armored woodblock golems. The composition uses a flattened perspective with large, bold, hand-carved ink outlines (太い墨線). The background features heavily stylized Ukiyo-e wave patterns and dramatic, swirling clouds, with a distant Mt. Fuji visible on the horizon. The image must look like a physical print, not a digital painting. * **Texture:** Strong visible wood grain texture (木目) and rough paper fibers throughout the piece. * **Printing Imperfections:** Pigment bleeding is evident. Crucially, simulate hand-pressed plates with slight **color misalignment (版ズレ)** for authenticity. * **Color Palette:** Strictly limited to traditional mineral pigments. Dominant use of Prussian blue (浮世絵ブルー), vermilion red, and muted yellow ochre. * **Lighting:** Soft, flat, shadow-free lighting with no digital gradients. * **Aspect Ratio:** 3:4 vertical poster. * **Extras:** Include vertical Japanese calligraphy describing the scene and a traditional red artist seal stamp (落款) in a corner.
