Compose screens as asymmetric joinery: one dominant working artifact, a narrow contextual rail, and intentional blank intervals that separate decisions more than decoration.
density

Outer density is calm with generous ma; inner tool rows are compact and aligned to an 8px base so product work remains efficient.

hierarchy
Use three typographic registers: Noto Serif JP for section identity, IBM Plex Sans JP for operations, and IBM Plex Mono for codes, timestamps, measures, and status annotations.
signature patterns
Active panels receive a 3px indigo left or top rail plus a small clipped corner notch that reads as joinery rather than a rounded card state.Hover and selected states use translucent aizome or warm-sumi wash fills bounded by existing hairlines, avoiding elevation as the main interaction cue.Dividers form irregular but aligned joinery rails: short gaps, offset crosspieces, and label tabs create structure without becoming a repeating wallpaper.Icons are reduced to monoline stencil marks with open cuts and square terminals, paired with text labels so the craft reference remains functional.
layout
breakpoints

desktop 1200px+, tablet 768-1199px stacks the rail above two columns, mobile below 640px becomes one column with collapsed navigation chips

grid

12-column desktop joinery grid with a 72px left navigation rail, a 7-column primary artifact, and a 4-column contextual side panel.

whitespace

Whitespace is treated as ma: 48-96px between major zones, 16-24px around panels, and compact 8-12px spacing inside task rows.

guidance
do
  • Use texture so subtly it is felt before it is seen, and keep contrast accessible for text and controls.
  • Reserve indigo for current location, primary action, focus, or meaningful status emphasis.
  • Let asymmetry come from panel proportions and intervals rather than random placement.
  • Translate katagami into cutouts, slots, and stencil icons attached to UI semantics.
avoid
  • Do not use cherry blossoms, waves, lanterns, brush illustrations, or motif wallpaper as shortcuts to Japan.
  • Do not add soft SaaS cards, floating shadows, glassmorphism, or arbitrary large radii.
  • Do not fill all empty space; ma is part of the navigation and reading order.
  • Do not rely on color alone for status; pair color with rule weight, label, or icon notch.

## Philosophy

AYA Washi Joinery Console translates Japanese craft into a restrained product interface: warm washi fields, sumi ink hierarchy, aizome accents, joinery-like panel seams, and katagami-inspired cutout logic used only where it clarifies navigation, status, or editing state.

### Values

- Disciplined negative space and ma as the primary hierarchy tool
- Craft abstraction over ornament: every texture, line, and cutout must carry product meaning
- Human-scale rhythm through modular joinery grids and asymmetrical balance
- Low-chroma warmth with indigo reserved for attention and action

### Anti-Values

- Decorative Japanese motifs applied as wallpaper or icons without function
- Glossy SaaS gradients, heavy shadows, saturated blues, or arbitrary rounded cards
- Dense component catalogs that ignore intervals, quietness, and product-specific hierarchy

### Visual Character

- Use off-white washi surfaces with an extremely faint layered fiber texture in CSS gradients, never photographic backgrounds or high-contrast noise.
- Build panels as rectangular joinery frames: 1px sumi borders, inset divider rails, square corners, and a single thicker indigo edge for active regions.
- Apply katagami logic through small positive-negative corner notches, stencil slots, and clipped labels attached to controls rather than decorative patterns.
- Set large quiet intervals between product zones, then use compact 8px internal rhythms inside each panel to create ma without wasting task space.
- Pair a calligraphic serif heading voice with a precise sans UI voice and mono numeric annotations for a three-register typographic hierarchy.

# AYA Washi Joinery Console

## Overview

AYA Washi Joinery Console translates Japanese craft into a restrained product interface: warm washi fields, sumi ink hierarchy, aizome accents, joinery-like panel seams, and katagami-inspired cutout logic used only where it clarifies navigation, status, or editing state.

### Values

- Disciplined negative space and ma as the primary hierarchy tool
- Craft abstraction over ornament: every texture, line, and cutout must carry product meaning
- Human-scale rhythm through modular joinery grids and asymmetrical balance
- Low-chroma warmth with indigo reserved for attention and action

### Anti-Values

- Decorative Japanese motifs applied as wallpaper or icons without function
- Glossy SaaS gradients, heavy shadows, saturated blues, or arbitrary rounded cards
- Dense component catalogs that ignore intervals, quietness, and product-specific hierarchy

### Visual Character

- Use off-white washi surfaces with an extremely faint layered fiber texture in CSS gradients, never photographic backgrounds or high-contrast noise.
- Build panels as rectangular joinery frames: 1px sumi borders, inset divider rails, square corners, and a single thicker indigo edge for active regions.
- Apply katagami logic through small positive-negative corner notches, stencil slots, and clipped labels attached to controls rather than decorative patterns.
- Set large quiet intervals between product zones, then use compact 8px internal rhythms inside each panel to create ma without wasting task space.
- Pair a calligraphic serif heading voice with a precise sans UI voice and mono numeric annotations for a three-register typographic hierarchy.

Compose screens as asymmetric joinery: one dominant working artifact, a narrow contextual rail, and intentional blank intervals that separate decisions more than decoration.

### Density

Outer density is calm with generous ma; inner tool rows are compact and aligned to an 8px base so product work remains efficient.

### Hierarchy

Use three typographic registers: Noto Serif JP for section identity, IBM Plex Sans JP for operations, and IBM Plex Mono for codes, timestamps, measures, and status annotations.

### Signature Patterns

- Active panels receive a 3px indigo left or top rail plus a small clipped corner notch that reads as joinery rather than a rounded card state.
- Hover and selected states use translucent aizome or warm-sumi wash fills bounded by existing hairlines, avoiding elevation as the main interaction cue.

- Icons are reduced to monoline stencil marks with open cuts and square terminals, paired with text labels so the craft reference remains functional.

## shadcn/ui Usage

When the target app uses shadcn/ui, copy DESIGN.md with shadcn instead of the plain DESIGN.md. It contains the same Katagami design-language source plus the shadcn/ui primitives, imports, theme variables, component recipes, and preview-shot guidance.

DESIGN.md with shadcn: `/language/en-019edc14-80cd-7423-afbf-332725e1e05a/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.

The shadcn page also exposes optional machine-readable files for automation, but the human-facing handoff is DESIGN.md with shadcn.

Install recommended primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.

Use these primitives in shadcn apps:
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

Implementation rule for agents: import shadcn primitives from `@/components/ui/*`, apply the generated CSS variables first, then compose the language-specific recipes from the companion MD. Katagami remains the source of truth; shadcn names are the implementation surface.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do Use texture so subtly it is felt before it is seen, and keep contrast accessible for text and controls.
- Do Reserve indigo for current location, primary action, focus, or meaningful status emphasis.
- Do Let asymmetry come from panel proportions and intervals rather than random placement.
- Do Translate katagami into cutouts, slots, and stencil icons attached to UI semantics.
- Don't Do not use cherry blossoms, waves, lanterns, brush illustrations, or motif wallpaper as shortcuts to Japan.
- Don't Do not add soft SaaS cards, floating shadows, glassmorphism, or arbitrary large radii.
- Don't Do not fill all empty space; ma is part of the navigation and reading order.
- Don't Do not rely on color alone for status; pair color with rule weight, label, or icon notch.

# AYA Washi Joinery Console shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edc14-80cd-7423-afbf-332725e1e05a`
Slug: `aya-washi-joinery-console`

## Intent

AYA Washi Joinery Console translates Japanese craft into a restrained product interface: warm washi fields, sumi ink hierarchy, aizome accents, joinery-like panel seams, and katagami-inspired cutout logic used only where it clarifies navigation, status, or editing state.

## Required primitives

- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

Install with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.

## Token cues

Colors:

{
  "accent": "#1E4F74",
  "background": "#F4EFE5",
  "border": "#CFC4B3",
  "error": "#9A3F32",
  "info": "#3B6685",
  "muted": "#7D7569",
  "primary": "#24364A",
  "secondary": "#6F6659",
  "success": "#3F6F55",
  "surface": "#FBF8F0",
  "text": "#211F1B",
  "warning": "#A2712A"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "IBM Plex Sans JP",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&family=IBM+Plex+Sans+JP:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Noto+Serif+JP:wght@500;600;700&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Noto Serif JP",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
  "line_height": 1.55,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Use off-white washi surfaces with an extremely faint layered fiber texture in CSS gradients, never photographic backgrounds or high-contrast noise.
- Build panels as rectangular joinery frames: 1px sumi borders, inset divider rails, square corners, and a single thicker indigo edge for active regions.
- Apply katagami logic through small positive-negative corner notches, stencil slots, and clipped labels attached to controls rather than decorative patterns.
- Set large quiet intervals between product zones, then use compact 8px internal rhythms inside each panel to create ma without wasting task space.
- Pair a calligraphic serif heading voice with a precise sans UI voice and mono numeric annotations for a three-register typographic hierarchy.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "blob",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,

  "motion": "still",
  "density": "dense",
  "accents": [
    "primary",
    "accent",
    "secondary",
    "muted"
  ]
}

## Signature component recipes

### Button
Use `Button` for primary, secondary, outline, and ghost actions. Primary actions must expose the language's strongest contrast pair, while secondary and ghost actions should preserve the surface treatment instead of falling back to default neutral SaaS styling.

### Card
Use `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardContent`, `CardFooter`, and `CardAction` as the main composition frame. Cards should demonstrate the language's surface, border, hierarchy, and density rules rather than appearing as generic rounded rectangles.

### Input and Textarea
Use `Input` and `Textarea` with visible focus rings, field labels, validation states, and the language's rhythm. Forms should show real product content, not placeholder-only controls.

### Select, Tabs, and Table
Use `Select`, `Tabs`, and `Table` to prove navigation, filtering, and dense data states. The table should show row rhythm, separators, hover/focus states, and an empty or status state when the language calls for it.

### Dialog and Sheet
Use `Dialog` for centered decisions and `Sheet` for contextual editing. Both should inherit the language's spacing, border, overlay, and motion rules.

## Preview shots

- `application-shell`: dashboard or workspace shell with navigation, cards, forms, and state badges.
- `detail-editor`: focused editing flow using input, textarea, select, switch/checkbox, dialog or sheet, and action buttons.
- `data-operations`: table-heavy operational view with tabs, dropdown menu affordances, badges, and destructive/empty states.
- Each preview shot must include a renderable `scene` payload with concrete headline, description, actions, and rows/fields/stats for the UI preview.

## Implementation contract

- Start from local `ui/src/components/ui` shadcn-style primitives; do not create a second component system.
- Apply `/katagami/shadcn/aya-washi-joinery-console/registry-theme.json` variables, then use these recipes for composition and state design.
- Preserve Katagami token names as source metadata; shadcn semantic names are only the export surface.
- Do: Use texture so subtly it is felt before it is seen, and keep contrast accessible for text and controls.; Reserve indigo for current location, primary action, focus, or meaningful status emphasis.; Let asymmetry come from panel proportions and intervals rather than random placement.; Translate katagami into cutouts, slots, and stencil icons attached to UI semantics.
- Do not: Do not use cherry blossoms, waves, lanterns, brush illustrations, or motif wallpaper as shortcuts to Japan.; Do not add soft SaaS cards, floating shadows, glassmorphism, or arbitrary large radii.; Do not fill all empty space; ma is part of the navigation and reading order.; Do not rely on color alone for status; pair color with rule weight, label, or icon notch.

## Copy-paste component example

This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
