The prompt

Re-render this image in Studio Ghibli's signature library-or-study register, Hayao Miyazaki direction with Oga-school interior painting. Subject seated or standing at a desk, table, or floor amid books. Visible: open book or scroll in hand, stack of additional books on table or floor, single warm lamp providing primary light, ink-pot or pen, small detail object (paperweight, magnifying glass, cup of tea). Background interior: wood shelves dense with books rendered in Oga wet-on-wet watercolor with visible spine-textures, walls in soft warm-umber, occasional decorative object (small statue, hanging fabric, framed botanical drawing) in soft-focus. Lighting: single warm overhead or desk lamp providing primary illumination, deep shadows in book-shelves, slight rim-light on subject's hands and book edges. Cel-animation linework on subject and book: clean single-weight ink, slight imperfection at line ends, expression composed in focused reading or note-taking. Mood: the small lit world of the book and the reader, the patient accumulation of knowledge across long hours, no urgency, just attention. No legible text in books or on shelves, no studio watermark, no specific book-title spines. 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.
