Title: Kō — An Hour Without Edges
Exact creative prompt: Build a minimal incense contemplation scene in muted oxblood and warm clay. Draw a wide elliptical ceramic incense tray, a slender tilted stick and a tiny glowing ember in CSS. Render fine translucent smoke filaments rising from the ember with inline high-DPI canvas. Use a poetic serif title in one corner and vertical decorative Japanese lettering in the other. A signed breeze slider bends the smoke west or east; a pause button stills it. Clarify that the experience creates no fragrance or flame. Responsive, offline, reduced-motion aware HTML5 with all code inline.
Description: A sculptural ritual of air, balancing an earthy ceramic object with delicate procedural smoke and spacious typography.
Major visual techniques: Layered elliptical ceramic gradients; ember glow; translucent canvas filaments; signed wind deformation; oxblood monochrome; vertical lettering.
Intended interaction model: Change the direction and strength of the breeze and pause or resume the smoke.
