Create a striking vintage Japanese poster featuring ${main-subject}, shown in ${composition-or-pose}. Surround the subject with ${secondary-elements-or-scenery}, integrated into a bold traditional Japanese-inspired composition.

Use ${color-palette} with strong limited-color contrast, combining deep black, warm cream, vermilion red, muted blue, faded coral, or aged neutral tones. Render the artwork with detailed hand-drawn ink linework, woodblock-print shading, screen-printed textures, rough halftone grain, distressed edges, imperfect ink registration, and visible paper wear.

Add large Japanese-inspired typography featuring ${headline-or-lettering-concept}, arranged vertically or horizontally around the main subject with oversized kanji-style characters, smaller editorial text blocks, stamps, and traditional seal marks. Typography should feel integrated into the illustration rather than digitally overlaid.
