Carte Postale Japonaise de Prêtresse Renarde

Vertical anime illustration of [Mei], an elegant young fox-girl shrine maiden with large upright black fox ears lined with pale inner fur. She has long flowing [glossy black-brown] hair with straight bangs, loose strands streaming past her waist, and one thick braid resting over her chest. She has soft brown eyes, a calm shy expression, and faint blush. Outfit: Off-white kimono-style top with wide sleeves, red embroidered floral borders, and delicate lace-like trim; dark red hakama skirt; large red obi bow decorated with subtle floral patterns; dark choker and dainty bracelets. An ornate red-and-gold floral ornament with dangling tassels adorns the left side of her hair. Composition: Centered half-to-three-quarter body portrait, slightly turned toward the viewer, hands resting near the lower frame. Background & Styling: Decorative Japanese postcard aesthetic on cream textured paper. A red gingham square sits behind her head, framed by a thin circular arc. Surrounding cherry blossom branches, red flowers, and two hanging tassel ornaments in the upper corners. A symmetrical ornamental red border with floral corner motifs frames the card. Exactly one vertical label on the left edge contains cursive text "[nana daya]" alongside a tiny paw print. Style: Soft watercolor shading, refined line art, warm palette of cream, sepia, dusty rose, and deep red. No modern objects, no watermarks.
