rules
composition

Favor one dominant work surface, one narrow tool rail, and one offset supporting column; let negative space create rhythm rather than filling every row.

density

Medium-low density with generous ma: controls sit in compact clusters but panels breathe with 24 to 48px intervals.

hierarchy

Use serif headings for document-level decisions, small mono labels for craft/status metadata, and indigo only to mark active or actionable states.

signature patterns
Katagami slot rails: repeated 1px vertical cuts appear only inside dividers, tab bars, and empty-state markers to express stencil logic functionally.Joinery corner notches: panels use clipped or inset top-right corners and small orthogonal tabs to make modular construction visible without ornament.Aizome hover wash: interactive rows and buttons receive a low-chroma indigo background sweep plus a 2px left or bottom ink rule instead of shadows.Washi grain restraint: paper texture is created with layered CSS gradients under 0.35 opacity and never competes with text or data.
layout
breakpoints

Desktop 1200px+, tablet 768-1199px with stacked context rail, mobile below 640px as single-column panels with preserved dividers.

grid

12-column desktop joinery grid with a fixed left navigation rail, a wide central workbench, and an offset right context column.

whitespace

Whitespace is ma: leave deliberate pauses between panel groups, keep empty cells visible, and avoid symmetrical card filling.

guidance
do
  • Use warm off-white and gray-beige neutrals as the main hierarchy, with sumi text and indigo accents for active intent.
  • Translate craft references into grids, borders, intervals, focus states, and panel construction rather than decorative motifs.
  • Keep radii almost square and consistent so the language feels joined, cut, and assembled.
  • Make responsive layouts preserve asymmetry through ordering, spacing, and functional rails.
avoid
  • Do not add literal waves, fans, cherry blossoms, brush illustrations, lantern icons, or broad repeating Japanese patterns.
  • Do not use glossy gradients, glass cards, arbitrary large radii, or heavy drop shadows.
  • Do not let texture reduce readability; grain must remain quieter than borders and text.
  • Do not spend indigo on decoration when it should identify active, selected, focused, or informational states.

## Philosophy

A restrained product UI language that translates Japanese craft systems into operational screen structure: washi warmth, sumi text, aizome accents, katagami cutout logic, joinery panels, and deliberate ma without ornamental pastiche.

### Values

- craft logic before motif
- quiet hierarchy through interval and edge
- material softness with product precision
- asymmetric balance over centered decoration
- natural variation held inside repeatable systems

### Anti-Values

- decorative Japanese pattern wallpaper
- generic white SaaS cards with indigo paint
- over-rounded plush surfaces
- busy heritage collage
- novelty iconography or literal craft tools

### Visual Character

- Use off-white fibrous page backgrounds with subtle radial and linear paper grain overlays in CSS pseudo-elements, never image wallpaper.
- Build screens from rectilinear joinery panels: hairline borders, inset divider rails, and one shifted asymmetrical column instead of equal card rows.
- Apply katagami logic as restrained positive-negative cutouts: tiny punched corner notches, mask-like hover washes, and repeated micro slots only at functional edges.
- Set typography in sumi-dark serif headings and highly legible sans body text with generous line height, narrow labels, and measured letter spacing.
- Reserve aizome indigo for active states, focus rings, selected tabs, and data emphasis while warm neutrals carry most surface hierarchy.

- Translate craft references into grids, borders, intervals, focus states, and panel construction rather than decorative motifs.
- Keep radii almost square and consistent so the language feels joined, cut, and assembled.

- Do not use glossy gradients, glass cards, arbitrary large radii, or heavy drop shadows.
- Do not let texture reduce readability; grain must remain quieter than borders and text.
- Do not spend indigo on decoration when it should identify active, selected, focused, or informational states.

### Accessibility

Sumi text on washi surfaces exceeds WCAG AA; indigo focus states combine color with position, stroke width, and text labels; texture opacity must stay low.

### Usage Context

Best for AYA-like planning tools, editorial operations, craft commerce back offices, archive workflows, studio scheduling, and calm data-entry products.

# AYA Washi Joinery Workbench

## Overview

A restrained product UI language that translates Japanese craft systems into operational screen structure: washi warmth, sumi text, aizome accents, katagami cutout logic, joinery panels, and deliberate ma without ornamental pastiche.

### Values

- craft logic before motif
- quiet hierarchy through interval and edge
- material softness with product precision
- asymmetric balance over centered decoration
- natural variation held inside repeatable systems

### Anti-Values

- decorative Japanese pattern wallpaper
- generic white SaaS cards with indigo paint
- over-rounded plush surfaces
- busy heritage collage
- novelty iconography or literal craft tools

### Visual Character

- Use off-white fibrous page backgrounds with subtle radial and linear paper grain overlays in CSS pseudo-elements, never image wallpaper.
- Build screens from rectilinear joinery panels: hairline borders, inset divider rails, and one shifted asymmetrical column instead of equal card rows.
- Apply katagami logic as restrained positive-negative cutouts: tiny punched corner notches, mask-like hover washes, and repeated micro slots only at functional edges.
- Set typography in sumi-dark serif headings and highly legible sans body text with generous line height, narrow labels, and measured letter spacing.
- Reserve aizome indigo for active states, focus rings, selected tabs, and data emphasis while warm neutrals carry most surface hierarchy.

## Components

### Composition

Favor one dominant work surface, one narrow tool rail, and one offset supporting column; let negative space create rhythm rather than filling every row.

### Density

Medium-low density with generous ma: controls sit in compact clusters but panels breathe with 24 to 48px intervals.

### Hierarchy

Use serif headings for document-level decisions, small mono labels for craft/status metadata, and indigo only to mark active or actionable states.

### Signature Patterns

- Katagami slot rails: repeated 1px vertical cuts appear only inside dividers, tab bars, and empty-state markers to express stencil logic functionally.
- Joinery corner notches: panels use clipped or inset top-right corners and small orthogonal tabs to make modular construction visible without ornament.
- Aizome hover wash: interactive rows and buttons receive a low-chroma indigo background sweep plus a 2px left or bottom ink rule instead of shadows.
- Washi grain restraint: paper texture is created with layered CSS gradients under 0.35 opacity and never competes with text or data.

## 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-019edc1a-e6b8-7392-8132-03043c9e13e4/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 warm off-white and gray-beige neutrals as the main hierarchy, with sumi text and indigo accents for active intent.
- Do Translate craft references into grids, borders, intervals, focus states, and panel construction rather than decorative motifs.
- Do Keep radii almost square and consistent so the language feels joined, cut, and assembled.
- Do Make responsive layouts preserve asymmetry through ordering, spacing, and functional rails.
- Don't Do not add literal waves, fans, cherry blossoms, brush illustrations, lantern icons, or broad repeating Japanese patterns.
- Don't Do not use glossy gradients, glass cards, arbitrary large radii, or heavy drop shadows.
- Don't Do not let texture reduce readability; grain must remain quieter than borders and text.
- Don't Do not spend indigo on decoration when it should identify active, selected, focused, or informational states.

### Accessibility

Sumi text on washi surfaces exceeds WCAG AA; indigo focus states combine color with position, stroke width, and text labels; texture opacity must stay low.

### Usage Context

Best for AYA-like planning tools, editorial operations, craft commerce back offices, archive workflows, studio scheduling, and calm data-entry products.

# AYA Washi Joinery Workbench shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edc1a-e6b8-7392-8132-03043c9e13e4`
Slug: `aya-washi-joinery-workbench`

## Intent

A restrained product UI language that translates Japanese craft systems into operational screen structure: washi warmth, sumi text, aizome accents, katagami cutout logic, joinery panels, and deliberate ma without ornamental pastiche.

## 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": "#1F4E73",
  "background": "#F4EFE3",
  "border": "#D8CDB8",
  "error": "#9A3D2F",
  "info": "#2F668A",
  "muted": "#746F63",
  "primary": "#1B2D3A",
  "secondary": "#7B6A55",
  "success": "#4D6B4A",
  "surface": "#FBF7EC",
  "text": "#161713",
  "warning": "#A36B22"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Inter",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&family=Inter: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 fibrous page backgrounds with subtle radial and linear paper grain overlays in CSS pseudo-elements, never image wallpaper.
- Build screens from rectilinear joinery panels: hairline borders, inset divider rails, and one shifted asymmetrical column instead of equal card rows.
- Apply katagami logic as restrained positive-negative cutouts: tiny punched corner notches, mask-like hover washes, and repeated micro slots only at functional edges.
- Set typography in sumi-dark serif headings and highly legible sans body text with generous line height, narrow labels, and measured letter spacing.
- Reserve aizome indigo for active states, focus rings, selected tabs, and data emphasis while warm neutrals carry most surface hierarchy.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "balanced",
  "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-workbench/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 warm off-white and gray-beige neutrals as the main hierarchy, with sumi text and indigo accents for active intent.; Translate craft references into grids, borders, intervals, focus states, and panel construction rather than decorative motifs.; Keep radii almost square and consistent so the language feels joined, cut, and assembled.; Make responsive layouts preserve asymmetry through ordering, spacing, and functional rails.
- Do not: Do not add literal waves, fans, cherry blossoms, brush illustrations, lantern icons, or broad repeating Japanese patterns.; Do not use glossy gradients, glass cards, arbitrary large radii, or heavy drop shadows.; Do not let texture reduce readability; grain must remain quieter than borders and text.; Do not spend indigo on decoration when it should identify active, selected, focused, or informational states.

## Copy-paste component example

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