# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Kumadori (Style, 1673–) and its accent from Ukiyo-e (Style, 17th–19th century). Structural cues: Red and indigo kuma lines; Musculature drawn as pattern; White ground; A color code of character. Accent cues, used sparingly: Clear outlines; Flat color; Bold cropping; Overlapping space. Composition: Crop tight to the face and let brow and eye lines set the axis. Type and lettering: Brushed letters that match the stroke energy of the makeup lines. Let one material quality come from the second style: Keylines and few color blocks; use the paper as one of the colors. Mood: Exhilaration, Rebellion, Nostalgia, Calm. 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 1656 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Kumadori: Drawing the red and indigo as pure pattern breaks the code that marks good, evil and the superhuman, leaving a decorated face that states nothing.
# - Ukiyo-e: Not a kit of 'Japanese-style' signs. Research the artist, carver, printer, period and subject.
