Transform the subject into a Kokeshi doll — a traditional Japanese wooden doll with a simple cylindrical body and round head, rendered as a real physical product photo.
IDENTITY RETENTION (STRICT):
– Preserve the subject's facial features, hairstyle, hair color, and outfit colors
– The painted face on the doll must be recognizable
– Maintain the same expression
KOKESHI DOLL DESIGN (CRITICAL):
– Simple cylindrical wooden body (no arms, no legs)
– Large round or slightly oval wooden head
– Painted face and hair directly on the wood
– Minimalist, elegant Japanese craft aesthetic
– Clean, simple, refined design
– Standing approximately 6–8 inches tall in appearance
BODY SHAPE:
– Straight cylindrical body (classic Kokeshi) or slightly flared (modern Kokeshi)
– No limbs — the body is a simple cylinder
– Round head sits directly on the cylinder
– Flat bottom for standing
– Smooth, polished wood surface
FACE PAINTING:
– Simple, delicate painted features
– Small, narrow painted eyes
– Tiny painted nose (small line or dot)
– Small, gentle painted lips
– Minimal, refined expression
– Rosy painted cheeks (round circles)
– Face painted directly on the smooth wood surface
– Elegant, understated Japanese painting technique
HAIR PAINTING:
– Subject's hairstyle painted directly on the round wooden head
– Black or dark painted hair in a simple Japanese style
– Can maintain original hair color
– Clean, smooth, painted-on hair with visible brush strokes
– Traditional Japanese hairstyle influences (bangs, bob, updo)
– Hair frames the painted face
BODY DECORATION:
– Subject's outfit reinterpreted as painted floral or geometric designs on the cylindrical body
– Japanese flower motifs: cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms
– Maintain original outfit colors in the painted patterns
– Elegant, refined painted patterns
– Traditional Japanese decorative motifs
– Kimono-inspired pattern layout on the body
MATERIAL & TEXTURE:
– Smooth, polished wood (maple, cherry, or similar light wood)
– Lacquered or waxed wood finish
– Visible wood grain through the paint (subtle)
– Hand-painted quality with refined brush work
– Traditional Japanese wooden craft aesthetic
– Physical product photography
POSE & FRAMING:
– Full doll visible top to bottom
– Centered in frame
– Standing upright on flat bottom
– Single doll (or small group of 2–3 in different sizes)
BACKGROUND:
– Pure white or soft Japanese paper (washi) background
– Soft, elegant studio lighting
– Subtle shadow beneath the doll
– Minimal, refined
NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS:
– NO LIMBS — Kokeshi dolls have NO arms and NO legs
– No modern or Western doll design
– No anime or cartoon style
– No complex facial features — Kokeshi faces are MINIMAL
– Must look like a real traditional Japanese wooden Kokeshi doll
