Aerial Summer Shirakawa-go Valley

Create a vibrant aerial summer landscape illustration of {argument name="village location" default="Shirakawa-go, Japan"}, seen from high above as if gliding through the sky. Show a deep green mountain valley filled with traditional thatched-roof gassho-zukuri farmhouses, rice paddies, winding paths, and small cultivated fields. A clear blue river runs from the distant village toward the foreground, crossed by one simple wooden bridge, with sparkling water, rocks, and lush trees along both banks. Place two large foreground farmhouses with steep straw roofs near the lower left and lower right, and many smaller houses scattered across the middle-distance village. Surround the settlement with dense cedar forests and layered blue-green mountains fading into the distance. The sky should be an intense clear summer cyan with towering white cumulus clouds on the left and smaller clouds on the right. High in the sky, include exactly 21 birds flying in a small V-shaped flock: 20 dark birds plus 1 clearly white goose near the upper right edge of the formation. Use a bright, polished anime background style with crisp detail, saturated greens and blues, warm sunlight, soft atmospheric haze, and a peaceful idyllic mood. No people, no text, no watermark, vertical 4:5 composition.
