Ukiyo-e Wave & Mountain
Sudden Shower on the Great Bridge
Diagonal sumi-ink rain streaks fall over a flat arched bridge silhouette; wind angle shifts slowly via sine wave, evoking ukiyo-e's woodblock print.

When to use it
Dark ambient backgrounds, art/culture themes, meditative screensaver-style displays.
When not to
Light-background UIs (sky gradient hardcoded dark slate). Contexts where constant rain motion competes with foreground content.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Increase rain density by changing `Math.floor(W*0.55)` to `Math.floor(W*0.9)`, shift rain color to blue-grey by changing `rgba(20,28,40,0.55)` to `rgba(30,60,120,0.5)`. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.
Safe to edit
- rain drop count (Math.floor(W*0.55), cap 220)
- wind oscillation range (0.35 amplitude, 0.18 frequency)
- rain color and opacity (rgba(20,28,40,0.55))
- bridge vertical position (H*0.62)
- sky gradient color stops
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- DPR-aware canvas sizing
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
- IIFE wrapper
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background sky color hardcoded in CSS and canvas gradient — must edit both to retheme
- Bridge figures are minimal triangles, not true woodblock detail
- No touch or pointer interactivity

- The Great Wave off KanagawaProcedural Great Wave: layered Prussian-blue swells crest and sway with recursive white foam fingers; a snow-capped Fuji silhouette sits in the background.
- Fuji at DawnFlat woodblock-style Red Fuji scene: indigo cone with snow cap, sky cycling from night to beni-pink dawn, a sun rising, and three cloud bands drifting across.
- Seigaiha — Blue Sea WavesNavy-to-sky arcs tile the canvas in the seigaiha pattern; nested rings breathe with a slow staggered rise like a tide held in cloth.
- Cranes Crossing the MoonThree brush-contour cranes beat their wings along an S-curve past a pale moon on parchment. Staggered formation, wings driven by sine wave.
- The One Living LineSumi brush traces a Lissajous path on washi canvas; stroke swells when slow and thins at speed, with ink fade and dry-brush scatter.
- Wind among the LeavesOchre leaves and pale paper scraps drift across a sky-to-washi gradient, steered by a sine-based wind field with gentle undulating stream lines.
