Kyoto Night Lanterns with Kanji Script

Night in Kyoto, Japan. A narrow alley in the Gion district lined with traditional red chochin lanterns hanging overhead, each lantern painted with elegant kanji script in bold black ink. The warm amber glow spills across weathered wooden storefronts, latticed shōji doors, and slick stone pavement. Soft mist in the air, gentle rain leaving glistening reflections, and a distant torii gate and temple silhouette at the end of the street. Rich textures: rice paper lanterns with visible fibers, dark lacquered wood, moss on stones. Cinematic composition with a shallow depth of field: foreground lanterns sharp, background softly blurred; color palette of amber, ochre, and deep midnight blue. A quiet, nostalgic Kyoto mood with touches of ukiyo-e-inspired lines and painterly glow.
