Komainu Guardian in a Nagoya Shrine Garden

Ultra-detailed photorealistic scene of a traditional Komainu stone statue in a serene Nagoya shrine garden. The weathered basalt-gray guardian sits on a moss-covered pedestal, one paw resting on a small stone ball, ferocious expression with bared teeth and wide, watchful eyes. Lichen hugs the statue's surface while soft morning light filters through maple and pine, casting dappled shadows on gravel paths and stone lanterns. In the background, a wooden shrine building peeks beyond a bamboo fence, and a torii gate stands at the garden entrance. A tranquil koi pond reflects the pale sky as a gentle breeze rustles leaves. The composition uses a slightly low camera angle and shallow depth of field to keep the statue crisp while the garden remains softly blurred; colors are earthy greens, grays, and warm amber highlights for a calm, meditative mood.
