Composition: Divide the picture into a few large cells, edge to edge, partitioned by heavy lines. Type and lettering: Set lettering outside the cells in black at the keyline weight, hand drawn or slab. Let one material quality come from the second style: Woodblock colors, paper tone, keylines. Mood: Luxury, Intimacy, Calm, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e8d9b8, #315d78, #b45a45. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Cloisonnism: Adding heavy outlines afterwards produces no division of colour, only an ordinary picture inside lines. Letting shading or depth back into the cells breaks the enamel like flatness.
# - Japonisme: Not generic 'Japanese style.' Show who referred to what, through which route.
