Environmental portrait of an elderly Japanese woodworker in his cluttered workshop. He holds a hand plane (kanna) at chest height, examining its blade with quiet concentration. Late afternoon sunlight enters through a small dusty window, catching wood shavings suspended in the air. His hands are weathered and precise. Shallow depth of field isolates him from shelves of chisels and saws behind him. Natural color palette dominated by warm wood tones. Documentary photography style, no posing, candid moment.

FAQ
Using this imagen-4 prompt
How do I copy this prompt safely?
Use the copy button beside the full prompt block. It copies only the prompt text, not surrounding page labels, so you can paste it into an agent instruction, a JSON request body, or your own prompt library.
Why does the detail page show parameters?
Some prompts were collected with saved generation settings such as aspect ratio, duration, or voice controls. When parameters exist, the page lists them separately so you can reuse the prompt text and the structured settings together.
Which endpoint should I call?
Use the endpoint path shown in the API code block. The path is generated from the prompt's RunAPI service and endpoint name, then rendered as the public API URL used by curl and SDK examples.
Can I use this prompt in an agent instead of code?
Yes. Pick Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Windsurf in the tab switcher, install the RunAPI MCP Server, and paste the generated instruction. The instruction includes the full prompt text.
