## Graphic language

Chinese ink / radical minimalism

## Review basis

All 14 final print pages reviewed; significant details and inscriptions intact. v01 and initial v05 left only in history.

Canonical list v02–v15 with render paths; v05 uses the recomposed master.

All ten final PNG have been reviewed; no blocking visual defects were found.

Approval relies on the preserved visual check of the final print file, not on the API completed fact. Microtext, vector logo accuracy and color proof are not certified.

Create ONE extraordinary original tea-mug PRINT MASTER, a flat horizontal artwork, not a photo of a mug, not a presentation sheet. Largest available native resolution, ideally3840x1280 or above; LANDSCAPE3:1 canvas. Production geometry is critical: the visible composition must be an extremely wide low panorama, about5:1. Put absolutely ALL colored marks, illustrations and words inside the central54% of canvas height, y23% through77%, and x3% through97%. Above and below: entirely empty PURE WHITE (#FFFFFF) gutters. Do not draw outside this horizontal safe band. The canvas background is opaque white; do not remove white from letters or objects. No paper sheet outline, no drop-shadow around the entire artwork, no crop marks, no watermark, no dimensions. It will be placed proportionally on an exact200x45mm page and printed on the pale outside belt of a low wide ceramic mug with either a red foot OR a lime foot. Make sophisticated color choices that hold on pale ceramic; do not automatically use red/green. All main type must be large enough to read on a45mm-tall print. Only the exact words specified, flawlessly spelled, no brand logos, no extra pseudo-information. Each composition should have a memorable silhouette and one clear idea. No dragon, skeleton, turbine, hourglass, or stock decorative mandala. This series demands truly different visual languages. Render the specific medium below convincingly; it is NOT the default vintage-engraved-leaves-and-black-slogan style. Use case: stylized-concept. Authentic expressive East Asian ink-painting aesthetics with extreme negative space, monochrome sumi-black and pale grey, ONE tiny cinnabar seal. Everything is drawn by wet brush and dry flying-white texture; no digital vector neatness, no photoreal green leaves, no bold industrial block title. A single extraordinarily beautiful horizontal black brushstroke sweeps from left toward a tiny roughly sketched porcelain tea bowl just right of center. At the bowl it becomes pale vapour and disappears into open white. A minute tea shoot rests on the left end of the stroke. Two large hand-brushed Chinese characters on the left: exactly "不争", fluid, cultivated and fully legible. To the right in elegant spare Russian handwritten typography, with plenty of air: "НЕ ДОКАЗЫВАЙ." above "БУДЬ." The word БУДЬ. is larger and isolated. Place tiny cinnabar square "茶" near the bowl foot. These are the only words. Poetic, fiercely restrained, self-possessed, expensive. Use at least55% EMPTY white within the already-defined horizontal design band. Strength through what is left unsaid. No ensō circle, no landscape postcard, no ornamental frame, no red sun.
