A photorealistic cinematic scene set in a misty bamboo forest at dawn. In the extreme foreground, a massive bamboo stalk is perfectly sliced in half with a clean diagonal cut, the two halves slightly separated, revealing a narrow gap. Through that thin gap, the face and upper body of a marmot ninja can be seen faintly — his eyes sharp, body mid-motion as he draws his katana. The marmot wears a dark traditional ninja outfit with a hood, realistic fur texture visible under the clothing. Morning light softly filters through the bamboo, illuminating fine particles of mist and highlighting the blade’s reflection. The focus is cinematic and shallow, emphasizing the sliced bamboo in front while the marmot appears partly visible through the gap, cool and mysterious. Hyperrealistic fur and fabric details, photorealistic lighting, atmospheric Japanese tone, elegant and dramatic composition.
