The prompt behind this style

In the bot this prompt is applied by the button. Copy it if you want to use it in another image tool.

Redraw this photo as a traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print. Keep the face and hairstyle recognizable. Flat areas of muted color, fine black outlines, stylized waves or cherry blossoms in the background, visible paper texture, limited palette of indigo, ochre, soft red and cream. Vertical 3:4, no text or seals.

The look of the style

Ukiyo-e prints use flat areas of muted color and thin dark outlines, with a limited palette. This version uses indigo, ochre, soft red and cream, with visible paper grain. The face is stylized, with simple eyes and a defined hairline, so the portrait reads as art instead of a photo. People print it for living rooms, give it as gifts and use it as a bold avatar.

Better results and honest expectations

Because the style simplifies faces, recognition comes from hair, face shape and expression. A calm neutral expression translates cleanly. Big smiles are harder, and teeth may be drawn simply or skipped. If your first result looks too generic, rerun it: the AI picks a different pose of lines each time. Add colors from your real outfit in the caption if you want them kept. This is an AI interpretation of the look, not a real printmaking process. Text and seals are excluded on purpose, since AI would invent fake characters. If you want your name in Japanese characters, ask a native speaker and add it in a layout app yourself.
