Anime Mountain Tea House Above a Cloud Valley
anime style · mountain retreat · tea house · watercolor
Illustrate an anime-style mountain tea house perched above a valley filled with morning cloud, formatted as a 3:2 editorial landscape. Look diagonally across an open wooden veranda, with a steaming ceramic cup large in the foreground and an adult caretaker arranging cushions farther back. Beyond the railing, layered cedar ridges fade into pale blue distance. Use delicate linework, translucent watercolor washes, and subtle paper grain. Early sunlight should catch the cup rim and worn floorboards while the interior remains cool and sheltered. Balance intimate material details against the immense valley, preserving a calm patch of mist near the upper left for editorial breathing room.
