# Craftsman Style (クラフツマン様式) — image generation prompt

# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Craftsman Style, a style from Furniture and Interiors, 1870s–1920s.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: fitting out a house or a shop where quality has to come from exposed structure rather than added ornament, or grounding a craft focused brand in an American lineage rather than an English one. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Beams and brackets stay exposed rather than being boxed in
- No capitals, scrolls or other parts borrowed from historical styles
- It works at the scale of a modest house such as a bungalow, not a mansion
- Wood and stone are left unpainted, so surfaces are made of grain and natural colour

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Emphasise the horizontal and arrange elements low and wide. Order comes from how the members line up, not from symmetry
- Type and lettering: Set headings in a face with heavy vertical stems, kept modest in size. No decorative rules and no display flourishes
- Material and surface: Use wood, stone and tile unpainted, and leave joints visible. Keep colour close to the material itself and hold saturation down
- Colour: #C4A46A carries the ground, #5A6B4A is the colour the style is remembered by, #6B4A2F holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: trust, calm, nostalgia

## What goes wrong

Staging simplicity as a decorative effect merely swaps one borrowed historical style for another.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
