Structural cues: Full-back narrative composition; Wave-and-cloud framing; Ukiyo-e derived imagery; Flow designed to the body. Accent cues, used sparingly: Clear outlines; Flat color; Bold cropping; Overlapping space. Composition: The main figure on the spine, flow released out into the limbs. Type and lettering: No lettering, with wave and cloud grounds serving as the frame. Let one material quality come from the second style: Keylines and few color blocks; use the paper as one of the colors. Mood: Rebellion, Luxury, Calm, Exhilaration, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e6d7b5, #285b7e, #c9a260. 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
# - Irezumi: Cutting motifs out and scattering them without the connecting ground pattern leaves the drawing fighting the way the body moves.
# - Ukiyo-e: Not a kit of 'Japanese-style' signs. Research the artist, carver, printer, period and subject.
