## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic vertical travel snapshot in a nostalgic 1960s Showa-retro Japanese amusement-park shopping street, like Seibuen Yuenchi's Sunset Hill shopping arcade. In the foreground, show one young Japanese woman with a short wavy dark-brown bob wearing a pale {dress_color} short-sleeve V-neck button-front summer dress with an elastic waist and a thin white crossbody bag strap; she stands centered, cropped from mid-thigh upward, holding one hot croquette in a tan paper pouch up near her mouth with one hand. Her face is intentionally obscured by one flat opaque medium-brown square censor block covering the central face area from forehead to mouth, while some hair remains visible around it. Behind her, create a busy covered arcade with warm daylight through a glass-and-metal roof, shallow depth of field, and a grey wooden storefront on the right. Add one large orange shop sign above her reading {main_shop_sign}, with blue and red lettering and a green frame; add a red-yellow striped awning beneath it. Include exactly four red-and-white cylindrical paper lanterns hanging along the street and exactly one round red lantern beside the storefront. Include pedestrians in the background: three main walking figures visible from behind, softly blurred. Add several retro vertical signs, including one arched entrance sign on the left reading {arcade_sign} and a tall vertical sign reading {vertical_sign}. Use photorealistic detail, natural skin and fabric texture, soft background blur, warm nostalgic colors, no modern signage, no watermark, no extra people in the foreground.
```
