Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of traditional Japanese painting and modern commercial illustration. It draws from the flat compositional approaches of Japanese ukiyo-e and traditional scroll paintings, while incorporating the refined rendering techniques found in contemporary illustration. It belongs to these style categories because it maintains the distinctive whitespace aesthetics and subtle color gradations characteristic of Eastern art, while possessing the clear, readable visual communication qualities of modern illustration.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are soft color palettes and meticulous detail work. The overall color scheme leans toward warm beiges, grays, and browns, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere. The compositions are clean yet layered, with each element carefully arranged to avoid both crowding and excessive emptiness. This style is impressive because it maintains visual comfort while conveying a sense of everyday beauty and human warmth.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Warm lighting: Enhances the cozy atmosphere of the image, making colors appear more soft and natural
  • Hand-painted texture: Increases the artistic quality and human touch of the work, avoiding overly digital coldness
  • Japanese aesthetic: Helps emphasize Eastern cultural subtlety and zen-like qualities, elevating the overall cultural depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for lifestyle illustrations, cultural theme poster design, restaurant and food brand visual identity, and literary work illustrations. It's also well-suited for creating advertising with humanistic themes, interior decorative art, and mobile application interface designs that need to establish a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.
