Begin with the black field
The eye enters through lacquer depth before a single figure steps into lamplight.
Let crimson carry motion
Every red surface should feel like a cloak, wing, or curtain already turning.
Frame the claim in an oval
The cartouche gathers each point like a miniature scene on a box lid.
Finish with a gold whisper
A fine line, not a shout, makes the whole slide feel held and handmade.
