MEDIUM AND STYLE
Traditional Japanese woodblock print aesthetic, crisp carved outlines, layered flat colour with visible wood grain and paper fibre texture, stylised waves, clouds and patterns. Fill skies and water with patterned stylised clouds and waves rather than flat colour.
SCENE
A tranquil temple garden glows in the rich hues of autumn. At the centre, a monk thoughtfully rakes a gravel zen garden, framed by the graceful arch of a stone bridge. Surrounding him, maple trees flaunt their vibrant red and gold foliage, while beneath the bridge, a koi pond ripples with the motion of vivid orange and white carp. To the left, a traditional tea house peeks through the leaves, and to the right, a majestic pagoda rises against a backdrop of stylised mist. Focal point: The monk raking gravel in the centre of the scene. Foreground: A wooden veranda stretches across the bottom edge, leading the eye to scattered leaves and delicate wooden latticework. Midground: The serene koi pond and its lively carp, bordered by the gracefully curved stone bridge and flanked by fiery maple trees. Background: A pagoda on the right emerges from stylised, swirling mist, balanced by the understated elegance of a distant tea house to the left. Lighting: A soft autumnal light bathes the scene, highlighting the vibrant reds and golds of the maples and casting gentle shadows across the gravel. Colour zones: deep blue #005a92 for koi pond water; maple red #d94f26 for autumn maple leaves; lotus gold #d6a801 for pagoda highlights; sand white #fff2d7 for stone bridge and gravel; soft jade #92c1a9 for tea house and mist; cypress brown #461c10 for wooden veranda. Small hidden details spread across different areas: koi swimming in the pond; a teacup on the veranda ledge; a gravel rake by a tree; a cat sunning on the bridge; lanterns hanging from the eaves.
FORMAT
Portrait format 3:4 (2304×3072). Vertical composition: foreground, midground and background stacked from bottom to top, with interest reaching the top edge.
PUZZLE CALIBRATION
The picture will be cut into about 165 pieces (11 columns by 15 rows). A clear focal point surrounded by many secondary details; medium-sized colour regions, each with its own texture; a recognisable object or pattern fragment in every piece-sized area.
PUZZLE CRAFT (house rules)
Original artwork made to be printed and cut into a premium jigsaw puzzle. Edge-to-edge composition: the scene fills the whole canvas, corners and borders included, with real content in all four corners because players start with the edge pieces. Even distribution of interest: there is something to recognise in every area of the picture, with no large empty or uniform zone (no plain sky, flat water, blank wall or smooth gradient covering more than a small part of the image). Clear colour zoning: five to eight distinct colour families laid out in readable regions, so players can sort pieces into piles by colour. Inside each colour region, varied textures and small details (brick, foliage, fabric, ripples, patterns) so two pieces of the same colour still look different. Full tonal range with strong local contrast between neighbouring shapes; deep shadows keep detail and highlights never blow out. Everything in sharp focus from the foreground to the horizon: no depth-of-field blur, no bokeh, no motion blur, no haze or fog veils. Rich, saturated but print-safe colour, balanced warm and cool tones, even lighting that keeps every area legible. Layered depth: a detailed foreground, a lively midground and a structured background stacked through the frame. Small hidden stories and discoverable details spread across the canvas, rewarding a close look.

text, letters, numbers, captions, signature, watermark, logo, brand names, frame or border, vignette, puzzle-piece outlines drawn on the image, collage or split panels, large empty areas, blur or bokeh, heavy film grain or noise, distorted anatomy, real people or celebrities, trademarked characters.
