The prompt

Re-render this image in Studio Ghibli's signature seaside-town register, Hayao Miyazaki direction with Oga-school architectural background painting (Kiki's Delivery Service Koriko, Ponyo coastal town, Porco Adriatic). Wide composition with subject as small figure on rooftop, balcony, harbor pier, or main street, scale-overwhelmed by architecture and coastline. Background dominates 85% of frame: European-style coastal town with red and terracotta tile roofs at multiple depths, cream-and-pastel plaster walls, narrow streets in soft-focus, harbor or sea visible at one edge of frame with small boats or ferries. Sky in upper third pale-blue or golden-hour soft gradient. Architecture rendered with Oga-school wet-on-wet watercolor: roof-tile shadows pooling, plaster wall textures with visible wet-edge, soft suggestion of bougainvillea or laundry strung between buildings. Lighting: warm Mediterranean directional light, soft shadow on rooftop facets, sea-light bouncing fill from below. Cel-animation linework on subject: clean single-weight ink, subject small but visible. Mood: domestic-and-mythic, the small town with all its working life, the sea always at one edge of frame as horizon-of-departure. No legible text, no studio watermark, no specific town signage. Aspect ratio 16:9 matching source. Preserve the subject and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
