# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=japonisme+sukiya
# Japonisme carries the structure. Sukiya Style appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Japonisme (Style, 1850s–1900s) and its accent from Sukiya Style (Style, 16th century–). Structural cues: Asymmetry; Bold cropping; Flat color planes; Plants and everyday objects. Accent cues, used sparingly: Slender posts, light roofs; Bark-edged timber and earthen walls; Diffuse shoji light; Continuity with the garden. 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: Earthen wall, shoji paper, bamboo and washi diffusing light into shadow. Mood: Luxury, Calm, Nostalgia, Intimacy. 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 1834 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Japonisme: Not generic 'Japanese style.' Show who referred to what, through which route.
# - Sukiya Style: Swapping materials for Japanese ones while keeping western ceiling heights and opening sizes never produces the lightness, and the room stops at Japanese style decor.
