Ethereal Lantern Glow in Kyoto's Historic Night

An ethereal night scene in Kyoto's historic district, Gion/Higashiyama. A narrow street of wooden machiya lined with shoji screens illuminated by hundreds of traditional red and white chōchin lanterns. The warm amber glow casts halos on rain-wet cobblestones, lacquered shopfronts, and mossy eaves. Mist drifts through the lane, lantern light creating soft bokeh and long shadows. A distant geisha silhouette glides down the street, her kimono sleeve catching the light. The silhouettes of temple gates and pagoda spires loom against a velvety midnight blue sky. Subtle rain, gentle breeze, reflective puddles, and a serene hush evoke timeless Kyoto. Ultra-detailed, hyper-realistic, cinematic lighting, photorealistic, 4k.
