Moonlit Japanese Koto Player Manga

Vertical black-and-white manga illustration of a serene, androgynous young Japanese musician playing a koto at night. The character has [silver-gray] long layered hair with loose bangs partly covering the eyes, one thick braid draped over the right shoulder, delicate facial features, downcast closed eyes, and a quiet melancholy expression. They wear a traditional [light kimono with a dark obi and a translucent floral haori], showing soft folds and subtle flower patterns on the sleeves. In the foreground, both hands with elegant fingers and dark finger picks actively pluck the koto strings; the koto fills the lower third of the frame with detailed wood grain, bridges, and taut parallel strings receding in perspective. Set the scene on an old Japanese wooden veranda with shoji framing opening to a moonlit garden with a single full moon, hydrangea clusters, leafy shrubs, and a small stone lantern. Dramatic moonlight from the left casts deep shadows. Rendered with fine ink linework, detailed crosshatching, grayscale tones, high contrast, and a low close-up perspective. No modern elements, no color, no text.
