Style prompt

Katsushika Hokusai + Frans Masereel + Félix Vallotton's black-and-white woodcut, where Hokusai's brush-drawn keyblock line creates rhythmic curving contours through carved strokes that swell and taper from hairline to bold, Masereel's gouge work produces dense unbroken black masses via white lines cut out of solid ink, and Vallotton infuses grey-free flat planes in which uncarved paper white works as active shape. The fusion manifests as one black ink on white paper, hard knife-cut edges, and tone built only from line spacing, transforming any subject through pure two-value relief printing.

Effect-only prompt

The same look with the recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Describes only what the style does to a surface.

One black ink on white paper, strictly two values. Contours run in curving, rhythmic strokes that swell and taper from hairline to bold. Dense solid black masses are broken only by white lines gouged out of the ink. Shapes are flat and interlocking with no grey, and blank paper acts as a shape in its own right. Edges are hard and knife-cut, and tone comes only from line spacing.
