Illustrative depiction of a samurai, pagoda, cherry blossom tree, and waterfall against a rising sun.

tattoo layout (right side placement, vertical flow) top right corner: a large sun with soft, radiating lines (like traditional japanese style suns, but more subtle if you want realism). the sun is a bit faded around the edges to blend into the background. below the sun: a cherry blossom tree with a thick, flowing trunk that curves slightly leftward. the branches stretch out wide and upward, with clusters of delicate cherry blossoms falling gently through the air. some petals can be drifting down toward the middle of the piece for a sense of movement. middle right side: a chinese temple, detailed with iconic multi tiered roofs, each roof with slight upward curls at the corners (very traditional style). the temple is nestled slightly behind the branches of the cherry blossom tree, giving depth. below the temple: a pine tree, rougher and straighter than the cherry blossom. this tree grows out from the side of a rocky ledge, its branches reaching outward (a very strong and stoic shape to contrast the soft cherry blossoms). lower section: a mountain, triangular and majestic, positioned behind and under the pine tree. a waterfall begins near the top of the mountain, cascading down elegantly to the bottom of the design, breaking into mist as it hits imaginary rocks at the base. the waterfall can be stylized slightly (thin in parts, thick in others) to add a feeling of life and movement. bottom right corner: a samurai standing in full armor (kabuto helmet, shoulder guards, katana at See more
