Art Style Type

This SREF style blends Japanese aesthetic photography with cinematic color grading. It represents a perfect fusion of modern Japanese film aesthetics and traditional culture, creating a visual language of "Japanese Mood." Through stark contrasts between urban modernity and traditional tranquil spaces, it creates a poetic visual narrative reminiscent of the visual styles found in films by directors like Hirokazu Kore-eda or Takeshi Kitano.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of this style is its powerful atmosphere-building capability, creating an immersive emotional experience through carefully controlled tones and light-shadow contrasts. The images display soft yet deep color saturation with subtle grain, while preserving rich details in shadow areas. Whether depicting rainy urban scenes or traditional architecture under cherry blossoms, everything is imbued with a quiet, understated, and contemplative beauty that evokes strong emotional resonance and cultural associations.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic: Enhances the narrative quality and film-like composition of the overall image, making it more story-driven and emotionally profound
  • Atmospheric lighting: Strengthens the subtle variations of natural light in the image, creating more dimensional and emotionally charged spatial feelings
  • Seasonal mood: Adding elements specific to seasons (like rain, cherry blossoms, autumn leaves) enhances the temporal sense and cultural significance of the image

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for travel-themed visual designs, cultural experience promotions, art film posters, high-end restaurant or hotel branding, lifestyle magazine photography, meditation app interface design, and any visual creation that needs to convey the combination of Japanese cultural spirit and modern aesthetics.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2
