What is Ukiyo-e SREF style

This style evokes traditional Japanese woodblock printing, characterized by bold, definitive black outlines and the use of flat, contrasting color planes, often featuring scenic landscapes or stylized portraits. In **Midjourney**, prompting for this **style** allows for beautiful compositions reminiscent of Hokusai or Hiroshige, but rendered with modern clarity. Effective **prompt** engineering for Ukiyo-e should emphasize line weight and minimal shading to achieve this classic, graphic aesthetic, focusing on strong outlines over complex textures.

Ukiyo-e Prompt Ideas

  • A portrait of a modern cyborg in the Ukiyo-e style, strong black lines, terracotta and dark blue palette, minimalist shading
  • Misty mountain landscape inspired by Ukiyo-e prints, detailed tree line, flat orange color wash background, high contrast
  • Still life of traditional Japanese teaware and blooming plum blossoms, thick black outlines, sparse color accents, Ukiyo-e illustration style
  • A lone traveler resting near a river in a stylized Asian landscape, ink drawing aesthetic with flat color blocking

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?
