W13 Prompt 1

The 1839 scroll “Six Jewel River” by Sakai Ōho has a lot in common with the style and mood of anime. You can see similarities in the way the artist uses clean, delicate lines to define the figures and nature kind of like how anime relies on strong line work to highlight characters and movement. The scroll also has a peaceful, emotional vibe, using nature scenes like flowing rivers and seasonal plants to set a reflective tone. That’s something anime often does too, especially in slower-paced or romantic scenes. The soft, natural colors (like blues, greens, and earth tones) are also very common in alot of anime backgrounds, which tend to be gentle and atmospheric rather than super bright.
