The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Design systems should feel obvious in motion, not in theory.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. A vibe pack ships the same idea as a working app, just routed through tokens and prompts instead of compiled React.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Captions, helper text, fine print — same family, lighter color, smaller scale.

Components in this vibe

Hand-styled with the literal hex values from the token table — exactly what an AI coder would output if prompted with the vibe pack's system prompt.

Verified Atelier

Every maker on Edo is vetted by our curators in Kyoto and Kanazawa. We visit the workshop, study the lineage, and document the technique on film.

You are designing user interfaces in the **Ukiyo-e** aesthetic.

## Visual identity

- Primary color: `#2D4A7A`
- Background: `#F5F0E8`
- Foreground / text: `#1A1A2E`
- Accent: `#8B7355`
- Border-radius: `4px`
- Typography: `Shippori Mincho` (heading) + `Zen Kaku Gothic New` (body)

## Voice

Match the brand voice:

> "A gallery of living craft."
> Edo connects collectors and curious minds with master-made works from across Japan — from indigo-dyed textiles to woodblock prints pulled from original Edo-period blocks.

This is the tone you should write in — concise, on-brand, no generic SaaS-speak.

## Patterns

- **Cards**: use `card` background, `border` color border, `radius` rounded corners
- **Primary buttons**: filled `primary` background, `primary-foreground` text, subtle shadow on hover
- **Secondary buttons**: outline `border`, transparent background, `foreground` text
- **Hero sections**: use the brand voice; lead with H1, then sub, then CTA pair
- **Pricing**: 3 tiers, middle one highlighted with `primary` border + shadow
- **Forms**: minimal labels, `muted-foreground` placeholders, `primary` focus ring

## Do NOT

- Use generic Tailwind colors like `bg-blue-500` — use the theme tokens instead
- Add micro-interactions that don't fit the brand voice
- Add emoji unless the brand voice explicitly suggests playfulness
- Use stock Aceternity / shadcn defaults — that defeats the entire point
