The person stands in front of the Shoji door, warm sun shines on the face and neck, wearing a red kimono, white collar sliding down slightly to reveal the collarbone.

The person lies on the Tatami or slightly tilts her head back, camera captures a close-up of the face. Focus on showing the eyes, lips, loose hairs by the face, and flower ornaments by the ear. Skin is delicate, light is warm. This shot is more like a commercial beauty-style close-up. Shot 4: Leaning against a Shoji door holding a folding fan. The person leans halfway against the Shoji door, holding a red and black Japanese folding fan. The kimono is loosely draped over the shoulders, and the obi is visible. The gaze is to the side, and the person looks like a quiet scene from a movie. The image has both a sense of styling and white space. Shot 5: Full-body vertical shot holding a wagasa.

The image is quieter, more like a gap in a story. Shot 8: Close-up of collarbone and neck moisture. A close-up of the character's neck, collarbone, and shoulders. The red kimono and white lining slide down slightly, with small water droplets on the neck and shoulders, and a small red flower can be used as an accent nearby. The focus is on skin texture, lines, and light. No excessive exposure, maintain a premium feel. Shot 9: Back close-up finale. The person faces away from the camera, revealing her back and back of the neck, with small water droplets on the skin and hair strands falling naturally.
