Prompt
A Japanese Edo-period ukiyo-e woodblock print. The overall feel is a surreal collaboration of masters like Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, reimagining modern technology through an ancient lens.

**Scene:** Busy Shibuya Crossing

**Edo Period Transformation Logic:**
Figures dressed in Edo-period kimonos but engaging in modern activities. All technology transformed into surreal Edo-period equivalents:
* Smartphones are glowing, intricately drawn paper scrolls that people are reading intently.
* Subway stations and trains are massive articulated wooden centipede carriages weaving through crowds.
* Skyscrapers reimagined as endless towering wooden pagodas reaching into dramatic clouds.
* Robots and mechs appear as massive armored wooden puppets.

Composition uses flat perspective with bold, prominent hand-carved ink outlines. Background features highly stylized ukiyo-e wave patterns and dramatic swirling clouds, with Mount Fuji visible on the distant horizon.

The image must look like a physical print, not a digital painting.
* Texture: Clearly visible wood grain texture and rough paper fibers throughout.
* Printing imperfections: Obvious ink bleeding. Simulate hand-pressed printing with slight color misalignment for authenticity.
* Palette: Strictly limited to traditional mineral pigments, primarily Prussian blue, vermillion red, and muted ochre yellow.
* Lighting: Soft, flat, shadowless lighting with no digital gradients.

3:4 aspect ratio vertical poster. Includes vertical Japanese calligraphy describing the scene, with a traditional red artist's seal in one corner.
