## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical 2:3 portrait illustration in a luxurious Japanese maki-e lacquerware aesthetic, using only deep matte black and metallic antique gold. Depict {character_name} in three-quarter view from mid-thigh up, standing calmly while playing a black transverse bamboo flute held horizontally to his lips. He has {hair_color}, loose layered bangs, a low ponytail over one shoulder, refined sharp facial features, downcast eyes, and a serene melancholy expression. Dress him in a formal traditional Japanese kimono ensemble: a black outer robe with wide sleeves, gold linework, layered inner kimono with subtle geometric patterns, an obi sash, and a small fan tucked at the waist. Add ornate gold maki-e decoration across the robe and background: exactly 2 large chrysanthemum flower motifs, one on the lower left sleeve hem and one on the lower right background, plus multiple drifting clusters of tiny gold blossoms and speckled gold dust resembling clouds. Include delicate Japanese garden fence and tall grass line art near the lower edges. The composition should feel like an elegant traditional performing arts poster, with intricate engraved manga-style linework, fine hatching, shimmering gold leaf texture, high contrast black negative space, no modern objects, no text, no border, and no watermark.
