# Angura Poster × Shōwa Modern — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=angura-poster+showa-modern
# Angura Poster carries the structure and Shōwa Modern appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from Angura Poster (style, 1965–1975) and their accent from Shōwa Modern (style, 1920s–1930s).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Angura Poster exists for: small-theatre and experimental performance bills that must defy respectable style, or work quoting Showa-era imagery and stopping a passerby through sheer excess. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Angura Poster

- Ukiyo-e colliding with kitsch
- Fluorescent silkscreen
- Rising suns and Shōwa imagery détourned
- The aesthetics of excess

Composition: One image at the center, the surround packed with detail and no white left. Type and lettering: Mincho, sign lettering and Latin colliding on one surface, alignment broken on purpose.

## Accent comes from Shōwa Modern, used sparingly

- Deco crossed with nihonga
- The modern girl's city
- Stylized lettering
- Department stores and transit

Let one material quality come from it: Flat color holding nihonga pigment murk, contours tightened by thin line.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #efe0a8, carry the structure in #ec2145 and #14100f, and let a single accent come from #a73737. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: rebellion, exhilaration, nostalgia, luxury.

## What goes wrong

- Angura Poster: Merely piling quotations turns excess into clutter and buries the title and dates the bill exists to announce.
- Shōwa Modern: Setting Deco ornament beside a kimono without the newness that city once had produces a period costume rather than a modern poster.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
