Art style: Studio Ghibli.
An elderly figure with a hunched posture, completely hidden beneath layers of tattered, indigo-dyed hemp robes. Only a pair of withered, claw-like hands are visible, clutching a staff topped with a black jade orb. The face is shrouded by an oversized straw hat (ronin-gasa) that casts a deep shadow. The figure sits on a raised dais in a cavernous, fog-filled temple. Wisps of incense smoke curl around them, creating an atmosphere of ancient, decaying power.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
