Asakusa Washi Art Postcard

Goal: Create a vintage Japanese washi art postcard poster of {argument name="location" default="Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan"}, showing the Kaminarimon Gate on a calm spring morning.

Canvas: Vertical portrait postcard, 3:4 ratio, cream handmade washi paper background with deckled-looking watercolor edges, subtle fibers, light stains, and a soft printed-paper texture. Leave generous cream margins at the top and bottom like a collectible art sheet.

Main illustration: Center a painterly washi-collage watercolor view of Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa. Show exactly 1 large red temple gate with a weathered gray tiled roof, red pillars, green lattice panels, and a huge central red-and-white paper lantern with bold black kanji. Add exactly 1 gold-and-green sign plaque above the lantern. Include exactly 2 guardian statue alcoves, one on each side of the gate. The street is wet and reflective, suggesting early morning after rain. Add exactly 1 blooming pink cherry blossom tree on the left, exactly 1 black street lantern in front of the blossoms, exactly 1 stone monument pillar on the lower left with vertical Japanese calligraphy, and exactly 2 rows of small market shops flanking the walkway. Place exactly 2 foreground women in kimono, one cream floral kimono at lower left and one pink kimono at lower right, plus exactly 14 additional small pedestrians walking through the gate and along the approach. Use soft muted reds, dusty pinks, warm browns, slate grays, dark ink accents, and gold details.

Top typography: At the top, set small uppercase text “WASHI ART COLLECTION” with thin decorative horizontal rules and a tiny flower ornament. Beneath it, large elegant serif title text “{argument name="main title" default="ASAKUSA, TOKYO, JAPAN"}”. Below that, smaller red uppercase text “{argument name="landmark subtitle" default="KAMINARIMON GATE"}”. Under the subtitle, add cursive italic text “{argument name="mood line" default="a calm spring morning"}” with delicate gold divider flourishes on both sides.

Bottom typography and stamps: In the lower margin, add a short vertical Japanese poem block on the left and a small red square seal stamp below it. Center the bottom text as: cursive “Picture Postcard”, red serif “Handmade Washi Art”, boxed letterspaced “ART EDITION”, then “LIMITED EDITION / 2000”, and tiny red “NOT VALID FOR POSTAGE”. On the lower right, add exactly 1 circular collector stamp containing “COLLECTOR SHEET”, a small flower, and wave-line ornamentation.

Style: Traditional Japanese watercolor, washi paper collage, handmade travel postcard, soft ink bleed, textured brush marks, slightly faded archival print, elegant museum-shop souvenir design. Keep all text crisp enough to read while retaining a hand-printed vintage feel. No modern cars, no neon signs, no photorealism, no watermark.
