Create a traditional Japanese sumi-e (ink wash) illustration of [SUBJECT].

Style requirements:

• Medium: black sumi ink on washi (Japanese rice paper), texture visible throughout
• Ink gradations from deep, rich black to near-transparent grey wash — no solid fills, no flat tones
• Brushstrokes are fluid, confident, and irreversible — each mark carries the energy of the gesture that made it
• Generous negative space: the unpainted areas of the composition are as intentional as the painted areas
• No hard outlines — forms emerge from tonal contrast and ink diffusion
• Ink should visibly bleed and spread at the edges of brushstrokes, creating soft, organic halos
• Composition: asymmetric, subject placed off-center following traditional Japanese proportion
• Occasional ink splatter or dry-brush texture to suggest spontaneity

Color: near-monochrome — all ink tones from white paper to deepest black. One optional subtle accent: a single wash of pale indigo, soft moss green, or warm ochre — used sparingly, never more than 15% of the composition.

Format: vertical or square (never landscape)

Mood: meditative, timeless, wabi-sabi — beauty found in impermanence and imperfection
