# ARCHITECTURAL ARTWORK — JAPANESE UKIYO-E INSPIRED STYLE

Use the attached image as the **base reference**.

This is NOT a render.

This is NOT a photorealistic visualization.

This is a **hand-crafted architectural illustration**.

The goal is to transform the scene into a **traditional Japanese ukiyo-e inspired artwork**, similar in spirit to classic woodblock prints such as *The Great Wave*, but adapted to architecture.

---

# IMPORTANT RULE

Do NOT create a realistic render.

Do NOT use modern CGI shading.

Do NOT use photorealistic materials.

The result must clearly look like a **painted / printed illustration**, not a render.

---

# STYLE DIRECTION

Transform the entire image into a stylized architectural drawing with:

* ukiyo-e inspired composition
* hand-drawn ink linework
* visible brush texture
* printmaking / woodblock aesthetic
* simplified but expressive geometry
* stylized shading instead of realistic lighting
* slight abstraction of surfaces

The architecture must remain readable, but clearly artistic.

---

# COLOR PALETTE

Restrict the palette to:

* warm browns
* sepia tones
* coffee browns
* muted earth tones
* soft ink blacks

Avoid:

* bright colors
* realistic sky blues
* photorealistic lighting gradients

---

# TEXTURE & MATERIAL APPROACH

Replace realism with artistic interpretation:

* glass becomes flat translucent ink wash
* timber becomes textured brush strokes
* concrete becomes soft tonal blocks
* vegetation becomes stylized ink shapes
* water becomes minimal abstract tone (no realistic reflection)

---

# COMPOSITION

Maintain EXACT:

* camera angle
* perspective
* proportions
* building geometry
* spatial depth
* all architectural relationships

Do NOT redesign anything.

---

# ARCHITECTURE MUST REMAIN LEGIBLE

Even though it is stylized:

* the 3-floor structure must remain clear
* the curved roof must remain readable
* the glass prism must remain visible
* interior voids must be understood

---

# STRICT PROHIBITIONS

Do NOT:

* turn it into a photorealistic render
* add realistic lighting or HDRI sky
* introduce realistic reflections
* add cinematic CGI effects
* convert it into watercolor realism
* change architecture or layout

---

# FINAL OBJECTIVE

Create a **fully stylized architectural illustration** inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock art, where the scene is clearly the same building and composition, but expressed through expressive ink, brush textures, and warm earthy tones instead of realism.
