What is Utamaro Midjourney Prompt

Utamaro refers to the style of Kitagawa Utamaro, a master of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Renowned for his 'bijin-ga' (pictures of beautiful women), his work has elegant lines and an intimate focus on female subjects. When using this `style` in a Midjourney `prompt`, the AI generates images that emulate the classic woodblock aesthetic, featuring graceful figures, flattened perspectives, and delicate color palettes. This approach is ideal for creating serene portraits, historical scenes, or giving any subject a touch of classical Japanese elegance and artistic sensibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
