# Ukiyo-e carries the structure. Woodcut 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 Ukiyo-e (Style, 17th–19th century) and its accent from Woodcut (Technique, 8th century–). Structural cues: Clear outlines; Flat color; Bold cropping; Overlapping space. Accent cues, used sparingly: Direction of the cut; Hard black-white contrast; Density of line; The block's materiality. Composition: Cut the foreground boldly; set a jump in scale against the distance. Type and lettering: Brush letters or a disciplined mincho fitting the subject; no meaningless Japanese. Let one material quality come from the second style: Ink black and paper; run the line direction along the form. Mood: Exhilaration, Calm, Nostalgia, Rebellion. Color: build on #e6d7b5, #285b7e, #c9a260 with a single accent drawn from #e7dfca, #27231d, #8a6240. 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
# - Ukiyo-e: Not a kit of 'Japanese-style' signs. Research the artist, carver, printer, period and subject.
# - Woodcut: Not a digital scuff texture. Design where the black stays and which way you carve.
