Image: Chinese woodblock New Year print (nianhua) style i

Generated from: Chinese woodblock New Year print (nianhua) style illustration, vintage Shanghai Animation Film Studio aesthetics. A treasured Duan inkstone (端溪砚) as the hero object: carved oval inkstone with dragon-cloud relief edges, a pool of dark ink inside, gentle wisps of cloud-vapor rising from the ink surface ("呵气成云"), a small water dropper beside it, sitting on a scholar desk corner with a folded cloth. Decorative nianhua border frame with four ornate corner patterns (fretwork + wave motifs). Bold dark warm-black ink outlines, flat unshaded colors ONLY from this palette: aged paper beige #F2E3C6 background, vermilion red #C03A2B (small seal accent), imperial yellow #E0A93E, indigo blue #2F5D6E, stone green #5C8A6A, inkstone in deep warm near-black #2B2320. Slight misregistered woodblock print texture, hand-printed feel, no gradients, no shadows, no realistic rendering, no anime style. Vertical portrait card composition with generous margins for 63:88 cropping. No people. IMPORTANT: no writing, no text, no characters, no symbols anywhere.
