Create the next standalone interstitial still illustration for the historical film 'Что делало старую чашу сокровищем?', to insert between scenes 3 and 4. Sakai, Japan circa 1580. Close-up of the established fictional tea bowl resting on partly folded sand-colored wrapping cloth on a weathered merchant's wooden counter. Low rounded body, slightly irregular uneven rim, dark earthy brown glaze with restrained charcoal patches, small exposed clay foot, subtle signs of use; no gold, gems, decoration, inscriptions, dramatic cracks or kintsugi. Three-quarter view from slightly above; the bowl is the clear focal point, its rim and glaze visible. A soft out-of-focus wooden storage box in the background suggests careful custody without implying a specific documented provenance. No people or hands. Quiet warm side light through paper shoji, contemplative mood emphasizing the care given to an apparently simple object. Match the established references: painterly 2D historical Japanese illustration, soft gouache, visible digital brush texture, matte painted surfaces, subtle aged plaster grain, earthy ochre, terracotta, cream, sand, deep brown, soft warm shadows, no harsh black outlines, no photorealism. Dunhuang influence only in painterly texture, not in Japanese architecture or ornament. No text, no watermark. This is an independently generated still for insertion between video clips, not an extracted video frame and not a storyboard grid.
