How to use this prompt

Seigaiha fails when the arcs get irregular, so "clean concentric scallops" is the geometry anchor. Indigo and white keeps the pattern recognizable as Japanese rather than generic ocean waves. The "hand-printed texture" adds just enough imperfection to avoid a vector-flat look. Scale the arcs so each row sits snugly inside the one below; oversized gaps break the repeat. CFG 7 keeps the repeat crisp; if the pattern breaks at the seams, add "seamless tile" explicitly and increase steps to 32.

Variations to try

  • Gold and cream version: metallic gold waves on an ivory background
  • Modern gradient version: soft blue ombre arcs fading from navy to sky blue
