An ethereal image captures a woman's delicate face with striking clarity, her visage appearing like a finely-crafted ink painting. Her crystalline eyes are filled with a dynamic energy, creating a striking dichotomy with the overall serenity of her expression. Pale tendrils of hair, white as untouched snow, cascade like a silken waterfall, their details wrought with the finesse of traditional wash painting. Despite the stark lack of color, the image shimmers with a soft, radiant light, punctuating the scene's subtle grey hues.
Background details suggest a rugged, craggy terrain reminiscent of Northern China landscapes, marrying a strong sense of realism with the intriguing charm of Yokai folklore. Amidst the tranquil aesthetics, a sword subtly rests by the woman's side - a poignant symbol of hidden strength and controlled chaos. The image embodies a reverent fusion of peaceful stillness with underlying, dynamic energy.
