## Prompt

```text
Transform the reference photograph into a delicate Japanese watercolor illustration. Preserve the exact composition, Starbucks storefront, Mount Fuji in the background, snow-covered landscape, tall evergreen trees, street lamps, and atmospheric perspective. Use soft hand-painted watercolor washes, subtle ink outlines, muted icy blues, pale whites, and warm golden window light. Simplify fine photographic details into elegant painterly shapes. Add natural watercolor paper texture, slightly uneven pigment edges, gentle color bleeding, and lots of clean off-white negative space around the main subject. Minimalist Japanese travel-sketch aesthetic, peaceful winter atmosphere, sophisticated editorial illustration, delicate and refined, no photorealism. Transform the reference photograph into a charming hand-painted watercolor illustration while preserving the house, snow-covered roof, parked vehicle, evergreen tree, street lamp, snowy road, and overall composition. Recreate the dramatic pastel winter sunset with soft washes of blush pink, lavender, powder blue, and warm cream. Use loose watercolor brushstrokes, delicate ink details, subtle paper grain, imperfect pigment edges, and gentle color bleeding. Simplify the architecture and surroundings into elegant illustrated forms. Keep the artwork centered with generous off-white negative space, like a premium Japanese watercolor postcard or travel journal illustration. Cozy, quiet, nostalgic winter mood, understated and artistic, no photorealism.
