Ethereal Lantern Glow over Kyoto's Night by Machiya

An ethereal night scene in Kyoto's historic district: traditional chōchin paper lanterns hang along a narrow alley of wooden machiya storefronts. The warm amber glow spills onto lacquered doors, sliding lattice windows, and rain-wet cobblestones, creating shimmering reflections. Mist drifts between terracotta roof tiles; the silhouette of a distant pagoda rises beneath a crescent moon. The image should be photorealistic with cinematic lighting, detailed textures of wood and paper, subtle fog, and soft bokeh from lanterns. Optional: a passerby in a kimono, long-exposure light trails from footsteps.
