A luminous white paper lantern dominates the right foreground, featuring a bold black ink illustration of a rooster encircled by floral motifs. It hangs outside a Japanese establishment, casting warm yellow light onto a chalkboard menu and plastic crates near the entrance. A shallow depth of field renders the adjacent narrow alleyway into a soft blur, turning distant streetlights and neon signs into hazy orbs of blue and amber. The dark, atmospheric street creates a high-contrast backdrop that isolates the intricate texture and glow of the lantern.
