Art style: Studio Ghibli.
A cozy, traditional Asian kitchen with wooden countertops and a large stone wood-fired oven in the background. Soft, warm sunlight streams in from a side window. Pao the panda stands before a wooden board, looking focused as he prepares to cook.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Pao: A round, fluffy panda with big, friendly eyes. He wears a small, clean chef's apron tied around his belly. His movements are surprisingly agile and precise.
