An original image that takes its structure from Japonisme (Style, 1850s–1900s) and its accent from Ise Katagami (Technique, Muromachi period–). Structural cues: Asymmetry; Bold cropping; Flat color planes; Plants and everyday objects. Accent cues, used sparingly: Cut continuous patterns; The brown of tannin paper; Hairline parallel stripe cutting; Positive-negative design. Composition: Cut the subject at the frame's edge; show depth by overlapping planes. Type and lettering: Faces true to the period and author; no meaningless Japanese. Let one material quality come from the second style: Tannin-brown paper against cut white, lines kept thick enough to hold. Mood: Luxury, Calm, Nostalgia, Technology. Color: build on #e8d9b8, #315d78, #b45a45 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. 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
# - Japonisme: Not generic 'Japanese style.' Show who referred to what, through which route.
# - Ise Katagami: Repeating a unit without studying the step makes vertical and horizontal streaks surface, and from a distance the pattern reads only as a grid.
