An original image that takes its structure from Kamon (Style, Heian period–) and its accent from Seal Engraving (Technique, Qin dynasty–). Structural cues: Geometry within the circle; Balance in black-white reversal; Extreme abstraction of nature; Compass-and-ruler construction. Accent cues, used sparingly: Red-white reversal; Seal-script line design; Composition in centimeters; The texture of carved stone. Composition: Held within a circle with equal clearance in every direction. Type and lettering: No letters inside the crest, and beside a name a light mincho balances it. Let one material quality come from the second style: Cinnabar red on white paper, chipped stone and blade tremor kept. Mood: Trust, Calm, Luxury. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 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
# - Kamon: Drifting toward realism by drawing petal counts and leaf veins collapses the crest into a black blob at business-card size.
# - Seal Engraving: Squeezing an existing typeface into a square without designing how the strokes breathe produces a cramped block instead of a seal.
