Волопас Танабаты в бамбуковой роще

Cinematic photorealistic vertical portrait of [Hikoboshi], a handsome young East Asian cowherd from the Tanabata folklore, resting in a shaded bamboo grove beside exactly one black ox. He sits on dry straw and earth with one leg extended toward the camera and the other knee raised, casually leaning against a rustic weathered wall of mottled gold, silver, and brown panels. He has [long black hair tied in a high messy topknot with loose strands framing his face], sharp calm eyes, smooth skin, and a serious yet gentle expression gazing directly at the viewer. He wears loose ancient Japanese and Chinese-inspired peasant attire: a faded blue-gray kimono-style top, wide off-white trousers bound at the calves, a muted reddish-brown sash at the waist, and simple straw sandals. A bamboo-handled rake or pitchfork rests on the ground beside him, partially upright. Behind his right shoulder stands the black ox wearing a rope halter, featuring curved horns and a calm, watchful expression. Foreground bamboo leaves softly blur and frame the edges with shallow depth of field. Lighting: [warm late-afternoon sunlight filtered through bamboo leaves, creating dramatic dappled shadows across his face, robe, legs, the ox, and the wall]. Style: ultra-realistic live-action photography, intimate low-angle 3/4 perspective, natural earthy tones, highly detailed skin and fabric textures.
