A Glass Kaiju Stands at the Center of a Miniature Night City
The red coat is the only non-reflective color in the entire frame, reserved purely for the viewer's eye to land on.

An illustrated Japanese kaiju movie poster, night city rendered in miniature, 2:3 aspect ratio. A woman in a red coat runs through the foreground; rising behind her is a transparent glass monster, tall as a cathedral, refracting the neon all around it. Oversized katakana-style latin block lettering spells: "GLASS KAIJU". Tagline underneath: "IT WAS ALWAYS IN THE WINDOW". Small studio-style credit line: "VINTAGE REEL · 1974". Palette: glass cyan, the one red coat, and deep night.
