# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=showa-modern+yuefenpai
# Shōwa Modern carries the structure. Yuefenpai 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 Shōwa Modern (Style, 1920s–1930s) and its accent from Yuefenpai (Style, 1910s–1940s). Structural cues: Deco crossed with nihonga; The modern girl's city; Stylized lettering; Department stores and transit. Accent cues, used sparingly: Soft rub-and-paint skin; Qipao beauties; Calendar and product together; East-West interiors. Composition: A figure cropped to the torso, background ordered by geometric bands. Type and lettering: Kana stylized and thickened, set vertically without Latin mixed in. Let one material quality come from the second style: Skin rubbed smooth with charcoal, then thin watercolor glazed repeatedly. Mood: Exhilaration, Luxury, Nostalgia, Intimacy. 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Advertising Posters, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Shōwa Modern: Setting Deco ornament beside a kimono without the newness that city once had produces a period costume rather than a modern poster.
# - Yuefenpai: Borrowing the qipao and the calendar frame while skipping the rubbed skin loses the softness of the originals and yields a garish copy.
