Rainy Feudal Japan Courtyard

A cinematic, ultra-detailed feudal Japanese courtyard at night in heavy rain, viewed from a high slightly diagonal angle as if from an upper balcony or rooftop. The scene is empty of people and focuses on atmosphere, architecture, and wet surfaces. A broad stone-paved yard fills most of the frame, with dark slick flagstones, puddles, ripples from rainfall, and strong reflections of lantern light. On the left stands a traditional wooden building with a tiled roof, deep eaves, warm interior light spilling from the open entrance, and a few barrels and containers near the doorway. In the center are 2 fenced wooden enclosures or work areas with lattice partitions, stacked lumber or bundled materials, low benches, and small lanterns placed on wooden stands. On the right foreground is another fenced partition with 2 hanging fabric banners bearing a circular clan crest. In the background, a large open gate and perimeter walls frame the compound, with 4 vertical hanging banners total visible across the scene, each marked with the same crest. Add 6 tripod torch stands around the courtyard, their flames small but bright against the rain, plus several warm wall lanterns near the gate and building. Use a moody blue-gray nighttime palette with warm amber practical lights, realistic rainfall streaks, wet wood, soaked fabric, stone texture, subtle mist, and soft volumetric lighting. The composition should feel like a grounded historical samurai drama set, realistic and photorealistic rather than stylized, with no characters, no modern objects, no text, and no fantasy elements.
