Create a minimalist Japanese-inspired watercolor and ink collage still life on a vertical {argument name="canvas ratio" default="3:4"} canvas. Use a warm cream handmade washi-paper background with subtle fibers, stains, and light aging marks. Center the composition low-middle with lots of empty space. Depict exactly 14 discrete visible objects: 1 dark blue irregular trapezoid floating above the still life on the left, 1 horizontal black dry-brush ink stroke floating to its right, 1 open cream-paper book with rough torn page edges and fine gray page lines, 1 dark navy rectangular block behind the book, 1 long slate-gray horizontal slab beneath the book, 1 small white shallow bowl on the right, 3 rounded red fruits inside the bowl, 2 small dark blue leaf shapes behind the fruits, and 5 torn rectangular paper scraps along the bottom edge: an off-white torn scrap at far left, a pale mint square, a blue-gray vertical rectangle, a dark gray shadow-like rectangle, and a pale green rectangle at far right. Render everything in soft {argument name="art style" default="Japanese watercolor ink wash collage"}, with muted navy, slate gray, pale green, ivory, and deep red accents, gentle shadows, rough deckled edges, visible brush texture, and asymmetrical wabi-sabi balance. Keep the image quiet, airy, abstract, and handmade; no readable text, no frame, no photorealism, no extra objects.
