The prompt

A Japanese Edo-period Ukiyo-e woodblock print. The overall feeling is a surreal collaboration between masters like Hokusai and Hiroshige, reimagining modern technology through an ancient lens.

**The scene:** {argument name="modern scene" default="a busy Shibuya scramble crossing"}

**Edo transformation logic:**
Characters wear Edo-era kimono but perform modern actions. All technology is transformed into surreal Edo equivalents:
* Smartphones are glowing, illustrated paper scrolls being read intently.
* Metro stations and trains are giant articulated wooden centipede carriages shuffling through crowds.
* Skyscrapers are reimagined as endless, towering wooden pagodas reaching into dramatic clouds.
* Robots and mecha appear as giant, armored woodblock golems.

The composition uses a flattened perspective with large, bold, hand-carved ink outlines. The background features heavily stylized Ukiyo-e wave patterns and dramatic, swirling clouds, with a distant Mt. Fuji visible on the horizon.

The image must look like a physical print, not a digital painting.
* Texture: strong visible wood grain texture and rough paper fibers throughout the piece.
* Printing imperfections: pigment bleeding is evident. Simulate hand-pressed plates with slight color misalignment for authenticity.
* Color palette: strictly limited to traditional mineral pigments, with dominant use of Prussian blue, vermilion red, and muted yellow ochre.
* Lighting: soft, flat, shadow-free lighting with no digital gradients.

Aspect ratio is 3:4 vertical poster. Include vertical Japanese calligraphy describing the scene and a traditional red artist seal stamp in a corner.
