Create a warm cinematic anime illustration set inside a traditional Japanese tatami room at dusk. Show exactly three girls: two Japanese girls in kimono inside the room on the left, whispering conspiratorially toward a shoji sliding door, and one blonde blue-eyed foreign maid outside on the right, peeking through the translucent paper door with one finger raised to her lips. The inside girl on the far left has dark hair in a messy bun, wears a muted purple kimono, cups one hand near her mouth, and looks surprised while whispering. The second inside girl is seen mostly from behind, leaning forward in a green kimono with a floral hairpin, pressing her ear toward the wall or door as if listening. The outside maid has blonde hair, large blue eyes, a frilled white maid headband, a black-and-white maid dress, and a slightly innocent, secretive expression. On the plaster wall above the two kimono girls, add vertical black brush-calligraphy text reading 壁に耳あり 障子にメアリー. Use a wooden shoji grid door occupying the right half of the image, with soft silhouettes and warm backlight behind the paper panels. Foreground: a low wooden table partially blurred with exactly two blue-and-white teacups, one small dish of sweets, and a blurred flower vase at the lower left. Background: muted hanging scroll and simple ikebana flowers. Style: high-quality Japanese anime key visual, painterly lighting, soft depth of field, warm amber lantern glow from the lower right, detailed wood grain, delicate fabric folds, cozy historical interior, humorous visual pun mood, no modern objects, no watermark.
