Machiya along Kamogawa under cloudy Kyoto sky

Photorealistic scene of traditional machiya houses along the Kamogawa (Kamo River) in Kyoto, Japan. Narrow wooden facades with white plaster walls, lattice windows, sliding shoji doors, and dark tiled roofs line a quiet riverside street. A weathered stone embankment and a mossy wooden footpath run beside the calm water, where willow trees bend their drooping branches toward the surface. In the distance, a small wooden bridge crosses the river, and faint stone lanterns dot the riverbank. The sky is overcast with heavy gray clouds, casting soft, diffused light and a moody, serene atmosphere—perhaps a light mist or drizzle. Rich textures of wood grain, plaster, and stone, warm earthy browns contrasted with cool grays and blues, cinematic composition with a 35mm feel, shallow depth of field in the foreground fading into the distant houses, high detail and natural colors.
