Viking Warrior in Feudal Japan — Photorealistic

Photorealistic, cinematic portrait of a towering Viking warrior set in feudal Japan. A tall, muscular Norseman with a thick braided beard and weathered skin stands in a misty bamboo grove. He wears hybrid armor: steel lamellar with leather straps and fur trim, a hornless iron helmet, and a dark cloak over one shoulder. A round shield is strapped to his back; a katana with an ornate tsuba rests at his hip, while a Viking-style seax hangs from his belt. The scene includes a weathered stone torii gate, blossoming cherry trees, and a distant castle or dojo on the horizon. The ground is a mossy stone path beside a koi-filled stream. Warm golden-hour lighting with volumetric fog, ultra-high realism (8k), cinematic composition, shallow depth of field. Textures: hammered metal, leather, fur, lacquered wood, and skin pores. Color palette blends midnight blues and iron greys with crimson banners and soft pink blossoms.
