Prompt

A mysterious Nekomata yokai, a supernatural two-tailed cat, sits atop the wooden rooftop of an Edo-period tea house, bathed in the eerie glow of a full moon. Its piercing yellow eyes glint with otherworldly intelligence as it gazes at the viewer, its forked tail flicking behind it. The creature’s thick fur is elegantly patterned with swirling sakura and flame-like markings, glowing subtly in the moonlight. The wind rustles through the paper lanterns, casting flickering shadows on the dark wooden beams. Below, a few unsuspecting villagers pass through the narrow, lantern-lit streets of an Edo-period town, oblivious to the lurking yokai above. A misty haze drifts across the alleyways, adding an air of mystery. The Nekomata’s long, sharp claws rest on the edge of the rooftop, while faint wisps of spectral fire dance around its paws, hinting at its dark supernatural powers. In the distance, the silhouette of Mount Fuji looms under a starry sky, with the classic ukiyo-e cloud motifs swirling around it. The entire scene is rendered in the classic Edo-period Ukiyo-e woodblock print style, featuring bold linework, rich indigo and crimson tones, and intricate detailing reminiscent of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s supernatural prints. The textures mimic aged Japanese washi paper, with subtle ink bleed effects enhancing the authenticity of the Ukiyo-e aesthetic.
