The prompt

Re-render this image in Studio Ghibli's signature rooftop-laundry register, Hayao Miyazaki direction with Oga-school background painting. Subject on a rooftop or balcony hanging laundry, with multiple sheets, shirts, or fabric pieces strung across a clothesline catching wind. Subject mid-action (reaching up with clothes-pin, smoothing fabric, lifting basket). Background: town visible below or beyond the laundry, soft-focus, Oga wet-on-wet watercolor. Wind direction visible through the consistent angle of cloth-billowing. Lighting: bright sunlit afternoon, warm directional from screen-right, cloth-shadows on rooftop catching the light, slight rim-light on fabric edges. Cel-animation linework on subject and clothes-line elements: clean single-weight ink, slight imperfection at line ends. Fabric rendered with painterly fold-shadows and visible weight in wind. Mood: domestic labor as visual rhythm, the small repeated act of hanging laundry as part of the larger daily rhythm of household, no martyrdom, just the work, the cloth as moving sculpture against the sky. No legible text on garments, no studio watermark, no specific town signage in background. Aspect ratio 16:9 or 4:3 matching source. Preserve the subject and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
