Art style: Studio Ghibli. Vertical 9:16, simple 2D anime style, clean line art, soft cel shading. Outside a rustic old Japanese wooden cottage surrounded by dark snowy bamboo at winter dusk. The wooden door slides open. A young woman with long black hair and a flowing white kimono stands clearly inside the doorway, illuminated by warm interior lantern light. The old man stands outside in the foreground and looks up at her with gentle surprise. Keep the old man and the woman as separate characters with correct proportions and clear spatial separation. The old man has his same aged, weathered face, grey hair and small tied-back grey hair tail as in the previous shot. Quiet, emotional atmosphere, soft snow, warm light against cool blue shadows. No tears, no extra characters, no duplicated body parts. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Old Man: Thin elderly Japanese man, short neat grey beard, receding grey hair, weathered kind face, wearing a simple textured grey cotton kimono and straw sandals, clean 2D anime style, soft line art. - Otsuru (The Woman): Ethereal pale young Japanese woman, waist-length straight black hair, delicate features, sad gentle dark eyes, wearing a pristine flowing white kimono with subtle silver patterns, clean 2D anime style, soft muted palette.
