Close-Up of a Vibrant Kyoto Pagoda

Photorealistic close-up in Kyoto, Japan: a vibrant red pagoda with lacquered timber, ornate gold leaf accents, and intricate bracket-work. The image focuses on the multi-tiered roof with upturned eaves, kawara roof tiles, and detailed wood carvings—dragons and lotus motifs along the beams. Sunlight highlights the lacquer grain and gold details, creating crisp highlights and subtle shadows. The background features a clear blue sky with a gentle bokeh of distant temple greenery. Shot from a low, three-quarter angle to emphasize height and craftsmanship, with ultra-detailed textures suitable for 8k realism.
