Art style: Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere. SETTING: Extreme close-up of the surface of a full ceramic cup of amber tea held still in the boatman's hands at the golden market edge. The tea nearly brims the jasmine-white glazed rim; its surface is a living mirror of the warm morning sky. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Extreme macro close-up looking straight down and slightly across the tea's surface, vertical 9:16 with the circular cup rim framing the liquid. Perfectly upright, no tilt. Razor-thin depth of field on the ripples and steam. LIGHTING: Warm low golden sunlight raking across the tea, igniting the rising steam into glowing ribbons and scattering bright amber highlights across the delicate ripples; cool teal reflections at the rim's shadowed edge. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Meditative micro-detail, hypnotic calm, the tiniest sacred moment before the pullback. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: No face visible — only steady hands cradling the cup at the frame edges, faint gentle motion of breath. COLORS: Amber and honey gold dominating the tea and steam, jasmine white on the ceramic rim, deep teal-indigo in the shadowed liquid, faint reflected coral and gold sky. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Glossy translucent tea surface, smooth glazed ceramic rim, tiny floating tea flecks, warm condensation film. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground — rising steam ribbons; midground — the trembling tea surface with reflected sky; background — soft golden bokeh beyond the cup, fully abstract. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Steam curling upward and catching light, tiny suspended sparkles, faint residual mist blurred far behind. MICRO-DETAILS: Concentric delicate ripples radiating from the cup's center as breath disturbs the surface, individual tea leaf specks rotating slowly, a single reflected sunbeam sliding across the liquid, minute bubbles clustered at the rim, the mirrored sky rippling into fragments of gold. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere" style.
