A tall, full traditional Japanese pagoda tower, off-center right, fully visible from base to spire, uncropped. Rising from cracked ceramic tiles. A gnarled sakura tree with a twisted trunk, hyper-detailed bark (deep grooves, lichen patches), leans in from the left midground — visually mirroring its twin from the left-side print. Sparse pink blossoms (5% saturation) cluster on its upper branches. Fallen petals drift onto the stone path and water below. A lone, broken paper lantern glows faintly near the lower steps, beside a ceremonial copper offering plate catching soft light through the fog. Warm interior glow in 2–3 pagoda windows, diffused by luminous mist. Dense fog weaves between stone steps, roots, and ceramic fragments. The background features a distant volcanic mountain under a veiled moon. Two tiny birds in silhouette glide leftward — a subtle visual bridge to the tree print. Monochrome charcoal gradients dominate the palette, 10% white space in the sky. Ultra-realistic ink-wash aesthetic with deep shadows, rich texture, cinematic depth of field. Ghost of Tsushima melancholy.
