Photorealistic Samurai among Ancient Ruins

Photorealistic image of a lone samurai standing in an archaeological site at golden hour. Weathered stone columns, crumbling archways, and moss-covered ruins surround him. The samurai wears ornate Edo-period armor with lacquered plates in deep crimson and black, a detailed kabuto helmet with a ceremonial maedate crest, a black lacquered dō, and a flowing indigo haori. He holds a gleaming katana half-drawn from its tsuba, the blade catching the warm sunlight. Dust motes drift in the air as excavation tools—brushes, wooden trowels, and rope markers—lie scattered near broken pottery shards and limestone blocks. The background shows a shallow excavation trench and distant ruined walls with engraved inscriptions, hinting at a long-lost civilization. The camera angle is a three-quarter view, ultra-high-definition photorealism with shallow depth of field to emphasize the samurai, dramatic shadows, and cinematic lighting that brings out the texture of armor, stone, moss, and weathering.
