Tall curved wooden bookshelf along entire left wall extending to lower floor. White mezzanine bridge, glass railings, circular ventilation openings, small yellow bookcases below.
MOOD: Cool summer refuge, peaceful, refreshing, communal, airy, air conditioned warmth.
COMPOSITION: Curved bookshelf and tiered seats as leading lines. People small, naturally distributed in lower half. Wide open ceiling, generous untouched paper at upper/outer edges. Distant shelves dissolve before frame edges.
STYLE: Delicate broken ink contours, translucent uneven washes, visible paper grain, wet on wet blooms, pigment granulation, dry brush gaps, softly incomplete architectural edges, quiet Korean storybook warmth.

NO text, logos, signage, or watermarks.
NEGATIVE: Photorealism, fully rendered architecture, dense crowd, harsh shadows, saturated colors, glossy digital painting, perfect geometric lines, excessive detail, complete background wash, distorted stairs, duplicated people, malformed hands.
