## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical minimalist Zen poster composed of exactly 2 stacked panels. Top panel: a photorealistic, cinematic landscape occupying the upper half, showing exactly 1 solitary monk-like figure seen from behind, seated cross-legged on a small rectangular bamboo raft in the center of a still dark teal lake. The figure wears a deep {robe_color} robe and a pale straw conical hat; the body and hat are reflected softly in the water. The background is a dense, dark green forest across the lake with one pale vertical limestone cliff rising near the upper center-left, softly out of focus. Use calm water, muted blue-green tones, quiet atmosphere, shallow depth of field, and large negative space around the figure. Bottom panel: an off-white handmade paper field occupying the lower half, like a minimal art-book layout. Near the lower center, render exactly 1 black stippled ink illustration of the same seated figure on the raft, including its vertical water reflection, using halftone dots and sparse horizontal ink strokes. In the upper-right area of the bottom panel, place exactly 1 small vertical text block reading {quote} in tiny gray serif type, with each word on its own line, and exactly 1 solid black circular dot below-left of the text block. Overall style: Chinese Zen aesthetic, wabi-sabi minimalism, editorial poster design, balanced asymmetry, serene silence, high contrast between photographic top and ink-print bottom. Canvas ratio 3:4, no border, no watermark, no extra figures, no extra text.
```
