Ghibli Sunlit-Grass Field (Oga signature pastoral)
The canonical Ghibli grass-field wide shot. Background dominates, subject small in frame, pastoral lyricism.

The prompt
Re-render this image in Studio Ghibli's signature pastoral register, Hayao Miyazaki direction lineage with Kazuo Oga background painting. Wide-shot composition with subject small in frame at lower-third, background dominating 80% of canvas: a vast sunlit grass field rendered in Oga's wet-on-wet watercolor technique, individual grass blades suggested through layered greens (sap green, viridian, yellow-ochre highlight), wildflowers as small white-and-yellow dots scattered through middle ground. Sky in upper third painted in soft gradients of pale blue to white near horizon, cumulus clouds with soft underbellies, suggestion of mountains or tree-line at distant horizon. Lighting: warm directional summer afternoon light from upper-screen-right, long soft shadows on grass, subject lit with rim-warmth on one side. Cel-animation linework for subject only: clean single-weight ink, no cross-hatching. Background entirely painterly with visible wet-pooling at the edges of cloud and grass-clumps. Mood: pastoral lyricism, time-slowed, the long summer afternoon of memory, nostalgia without sentimentality. No legible text, no studio watermark. Aspect ratio 16:9 matching source. Preserve the subject and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
