# Japanese Mystery Detective Poster - Model: [GPT Image 2](/models/chatgpt-image.md) - Creator: [Library Typography (@library.typography)](/@library.typography.md) - Label: AI-generated - Use cases: Posters and type - AI keywords: poster, portrait, illustration, vintage - Copies: 0 - Saves: 0 - Published: 2026-11-01 - Cover image: https://cdn.promptclay.com/media/v/01M6B864B9QFXEJJP5WYW0YFQE/w1200.webp - Page: https://promptclay.com/prompts/japanese-mystery-detective-poster-fr874v ## Prompt ```text Goal: Create a dramatic vertical Japanese mystery-novel tribute poster featuring {character_name} seated in the foreground, styled as a gritty Taisho/Showa-era detective illustration. Canvas: Vertical 2:3 poster composition, dark high-contrast cinematic lighting, red-and-black palette, aged paper and horror-mystery atmosphere. Use a full-bleed layout with no border. Subject details: Center foreground shows an adult Japanese male detective sitting cross-legged on a tatami or wooden floor. He wears a rumpled gray kimono-style outfit, loose gray hakama-like trousers, a black haori cloak, and a soft wrinkled gray hat. His posture is slightly hunched and weary; one hand touches the brim of his hat, the other rests on the handle of an old worn brown leather travel suitcase with brass hardware. His face is intentionally obscured by a soft rectangular blur or neutral censor block, while the body, clothing, hands, hat, and suitcase remain sharp and detailed. Background: A dim old Japanese mansion interior with sliding shoji screens, wooden lattice, faint lamps, deep shadows, and blood-red illumination. Add subtle grunge textures, scratches, smoky darkness, and a sense of old crime-scene dread. The background should be partially hidden by large typography. Text layout: Fill the poster with exactly 6 large white Japanese mystery-title text elements, distressed and slightly red-stained, arranged around and behind the seated figure. Use oversized vertical and horizontal Mincho-style serif typography with dramatic scale differences. The 6 visible title elements are: 1) 「犬神家の一族」 across the upper left, 2) 「八つ墓村」 huge across the upper right, 3) 「獄門島」 very large across the left-center/center, 4) 「悪魔が来りて笛を吹く」 across the mid-right, 5) 「悪魔の手毬唄」 stacked vertically on the left, 6) 「本陣殺人事件」 stacked vertically on the far right. Add a small date near the bottom right reading {date_text} and a small cursive signature reading {signature} beneath it. Visual style: Hyper-detailed AI illustration with photorealistic fabric folds and suitcase texture, mixed with vintage Japanese book-cover design. Strong white typography, crimson shadows, black vignette, high contrast, ominous detective-fiction mood, nostalgic yet unsettling. Constraints: Keep exactly one seated detective and exactly one suitcase. Keep the 6 listed Japanese titles legible and prominent. Do not add extra title names, extra characters, modern objects, logos, or watermarks. ``` ## Variables Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt. | Variable | Label | Example | |---|---|---| | `{character_name}` | character name | Kosuke Kindaichi | | `{date_text}` | date text | May 24, 2026 | | `{signature}` | signature | Gyagi | ## About A dark vintage Japanese detective poster with a seated Kosuke Kindaichi-inspired figure, old mansion backdrop, and six prominent novel-title text elements.
