## Prompt

```text
Create a monochrome, photorealistic cinematic portrait of a graceful young Japanese woman in traditional kimono, shown from the back and shoulders up as she turns her head toward the viewer with a calm, faint smile. She has {hair_color} hair styled in an elegant low updo with loose face-framing strands and a decorative floral kanzashi hair ornament with dangling tassels on the left side. She wears a refined {kimono_color} kimono with subtle embroidered cherry blossom patterns on the sleeve and shoulder, plus a large tied obi bow visible at her lower back. Frame her inside a large circular moon-gate window, with dark interior edges forming a round vignette and slim vertical lattice panels at both sides. Beyond the window is a softly blurred Japanese Zen garden with raked sand patterns, scattered rocks, low shrubs, and bright diffused daylight filtering through trees. Use black-and-white photography style, soft natural backlight, delicate skin tones, shallow depth of field, high detail in hair and fabric, elegant composition, serene atmosphere, 3/4 rear view, vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. No text, no watermark, no modern objects.
```
