Use case: infographic-diagram
Asset type: wide editorial illustration for insertion in a Japanese business article

Primary request:
Create a wide 16:9 editorial illustration for a Japanese business article. This is not a dashboard, flowchart, UI screenshot, or photorealistic scene. It should feel like an intelligent hand-made illustration found inside an excellent Japanese architecture, culture, or graphic-design magazine.

Core idea:
“As inventory tools progress from paper to Excel to an app, the time spent on work other than actually counting disappears.” Show this through a single continuous frontal architectural section containing three equal adjacent work bays from left to right: Paper, Excel, App. The architecture must read as one connected, countable structure, not three unrelated panels.

Visual narrative:
- Left bay, Paper: four separate physical work positions in sequence—an item-counting tray, a paper clipboard for handwriting, a keyboard/ledger station for retyping, and two small piles being manually reconciled. It should feel visibly fragmented, but calm and ordered.
- Middle bay, Excel: three work positions—counting tray, laptop entry desk, manual reconciliation station. One former work position has become clean empty white space.
- Right bay, App: one compact integrated counting-and-input station where a hand-held device sits beside the counted objects, plus one small orange signal/mark indicating automatic reconciliation. Most of the bay is clean white breathing room; transfer and reconciliation desks are absent.
- The decrease in stations and increase in white space must communicate saved non-counting work without arrows, speed lines, clocks, percentages, or invented numerical claims.
- No people are necessary; the arrangement of ordinary objects and work surfaces should carry the idea.

Style/medium:
Opaque gouache color planes plus visible colored-pencil construction lines on pure bright white paper. Frontal elevation / cutaway section only. Orthographic and slightly naive. No perspective depth, no isometric view, no 3D render. Fine deep-green and graphite pencil outlines should be slightly wobbly and human, with overlaps, pressure variation, occasional incomplete edges, and faint construction marks. Gouache should show restrained brush variation, dry-brush edges, tiny gaps between fill and outline, and modest registration mismatch. Handmade but disciplined, not messy or childlike. Editorial sophistication comes from proportion, visual rhythm, asymmetric object placement, and purposeful empty space—not luxury styling or glossy effects.

Color palette and surface:
Large areas of untouched pure white (#FFFFFF) are essential. Structural frame: deep teal and forest green. Repeated objects: cobalt and clear blue. Orange is reserved only for the small integrated automatic-reconciliation signal in the final bay. Optional tiny accents of clean cyan or cool pink are allowed, but keep the overall color system crisp. Background and paper must be neutral pure white. Absolutely no cream, beige, ivory, tan, sepia, kraft paper, warm off-white, brown wash, wood texture, nostalgic yellowing, cozy lighting, or warm shadow.

Text (verbatim):
- Main heading at the upper left: 「数えていない時間が、消えていく。」
- Small bay labels: 「紙」, 「Excel」, 「アプリ」
Include only those exact texts, typeset like restrained hand-lettered editorial captions, not a generic AI display font. No other words, numerals, pseudo-text, legends, dimensions, logos, watermarks, signatures, or UI text. Japanese characters must be correct and legible. If exact text cannot be rendered reliably, prioritize the three bay labels and leave the heading area blank rather than inventing text.

Composition/framing:
Wide 16:9 landscape, optimized for insertion in an article and readable on mobile when cropped carefully. Use the upper quarter mainly as white space for the heading. Place the continuous three-bay architectural section across the lower two-thirds. Keep important objects away from extreme edges. The first read is a reduction from four stations to three to one; the second read is the change from manual transfer/reconciliation to an orange automatic-reconciliation cue.

Avoid: cream palette, beige paper, photorealism, people posing, corporate vector infographic, slick flat SVG look, generic iconography, gradients, glassmorphism, drop shadows, glossy 3D, cinematic lighting, isometric rooms, arrows, process chevrons, bar charts, exaggerated clutter, decorative patterns, fake magazine mastheads, brand marks, or extra captions.
