Amber Glow of Traditional Japanese Paper Lanterns

A serene night scene of a collection of traditional Japanese paper lanterns (chōchin and andon) hanging from a slender wooden beam and wires, glowing warmly in amber light. Varied sizes and colors—crimson red, ivory, and soft gold—each lantern with delicate kanji motifs or simple floral patterns. The textured paper allows light to leak softly, casting gentle pools of light on a wooden courtyard or narrow alley below, with long shadows and subtle reflections. The background fades into a deep blue night sky with a hint of mist; distant lanterns bloom into soft bokeh. The overall mood is tranquil, nostalgic, and intimate. Style: hyper-detailed, cinematic lighting; can be photorealistic or painterly; high resolution (8k) with shallow depth of field.
