Close-up of a ceramic incense burner at the edge of a tatami at night, a thin thread of smoke rising from the glowing tip of a single stick

Prompt

SCENE: Tatami edge at night, 16:9. Locked close-up on a small ceramic incense burner. A single stick stands. No face. No readable writing on the ceramic.

ACTION: One thin thread of smoke rises, wavers once, and thins. The stick glows at the tip only. No second stick. No hand entering.

FOCUS: Tack-sharp on the ember tip and the first ten centimeters of smoke. Background fusuma is one stop soft.

PHYSICS: Smoke is light and continuous. It does not become a fog wall. It does not pool like liquid. No CGI ribbon.

LIGHT: The ember is the only warm point. Cool room around it. No beauty key.

STYLE: Photoreal cinematic, period Japan, ceramic glaze and ash texture, soft grain. No anime. No text. No watermark. No logos.
