How to use this prompt

Japanese wave patterns need rhythm and negative space to feel traditional rather than busy. Indigo and white is the classic pairing that references Hokusai without copying him. Clean linework and no gradients make it suitable for fabric printing and wrapping paper. The waves should flow horizontally for a calm, continuous repeat.

Variations to try

  • Red accents — small red sun circles among waves for a bold variant
  • Soft blue — pale sky blue and white for a delicate nursery textile
