## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical monochrome anime-style portrait of a beautiful young Japanese woman in elegant summer kimono, standing in shallow water at night and looking back over her shoulder toward the viewer with a soft, calm smile. She has {hair_color} styled in an intricate low updo with loose curled tendrils framing her face, decorated with a cluster of flower hair ornaments on the left side. Her face is luminous and delicate, with large reflective eyes, long eyelashes, smooth porcelain skin, and subtle highlights on her lips and cheeks. She wears {kimono_style}; include fine embroidered botanical details, wave motifs, and glossy fabric folds. The scene is entirely black and white with rich grayscale contrast, cinematic rim lighting, and soft bloom. Background: a dark pond or river surface with shimmering reflections and floating lotus-shaped lanterns; include exactly four prominent glowing lotus lanterns: one large blurred lantern in the lower left foreground, one small bright lantern near the center-right behind her face, one medium lantern in the lower right, and one softer lantern farther back on the upper right. Add scattered bokeh lights and tiny sparkling particles in the night air. Composition: close-up three-quarter back view from the waist up, her head turned to the right toward the camera, face positioned in the upper center-right, hair and flower ornament occupying the upper left, kimono shoulder and obi filling the lower half. Visual style: highly detailed niji-anime illustration, romantic Japanese festival atmosphere, photorealistic water reflections, fine linework, soft depth of field, glossy highlights, high-resolution grayscale, no text, no border, no watermark.
