## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic, photorealistic night scene in a dense Japanese entertainment district after rain, with wet asphalt reflecting neon signs in pink, red, blue, and yellow. In the left foreground, show one mysterious wandering ascetic monk or hermit, seen from behind, wearing a heavy tattered patterned golden-brown robe, straw sandals, a rope belt, and a tall bundled straw hat or woven pilgrim headpiece that hides the face. The monk is doing street cleanup before entering the nightlife district: he holds one long metal litter picker in the left hand, grasping one piece of red trash near an open cardboard box, and carries one large transparent plastic garbage bag in the right hand filled with collected litter. Include exactly four prominent cleanup-related foreground objects: one cardboard box with Japanese writing, one blue plastic crate, one posted warning sign on a fence, and scattered small trash on the pavement. The background is a deep urban canyon of buildings with many glowing vertical Japanese signs, pachinko and karaoke-style storefronts, pedestrians with umbrellas and silhouettes, car headlights, traffic lights, and a large central billboard with a stylized anime girl and the number 109. Mood: contemplative, surreal, and slightly humorous, as if a saintly hermit is accumulating virtue before gambling. Use {city_district}, {main_character}, {robe_color}, {weather}, and {neon_sign_theme}. Ultra-detailed realistic textures, moody low-key lighting, reflective puddles, wide-angle street photography composition, 16:9 aspect ratio, gritty cinematic color grading, no clean fantasy glow, no cartoon style.
