Edit the selected ORIGINAL river watercolor illustration. Use the two attached photographs ONLY as costume, hair and makeup references. Preserve the original composition, camera angle, scale, white paper background, four paper boats, their exact positions, blue flowing water, gold sluice hardware, thin gold pole, distant landscape, and translucent blue-lavender geological layers. This is a precise object replacement, not a new composition.

Make exactly three changes:
1. Replace ONLY the man on the LEFT with a realistic adult Japanese Edo-period kabuki actor inspired by reference 1: an abundant long ivory-white lion mane, recognizable restrained red/black kumadori on a white face, a charcoal/navy and softly burnished gold brocade costume over ivory-gold lower robes. His body occupies the original man's location and scale. KEEP the original working action: leaning toward the gold sluice, one visible hand turning its top handle, the other braced on the canal rail. Arrange the mane and sleeves so they do not obscure the hands or gold mechanism. Draw individual fine strands, facial volume, believable cloth folds and anatomy with delicate graphite and pale watercolor, the SAME realistic rendering as the original landscape.
2. Replace ONLY the woman on the RIGHT with a realistic ADULT MALE Japanese kabuki actor inspired by reference 2: sculpted black kabuki wig, white face with red kumadori, recognizable red outer kimono with subtle pale floral and antique-gold detail, and purple/ivory patterned lower robes. His position, scale and forward lean follow the original woman, with one hand holding the EXISTING thin gold pole, its tip still touching the same nearest paper boat; the other hand naturally near his knee. No sword, stage, drum, audience or new objects. Make the face unmistakably an adult male kabuki actor. The red and purple must remain recognizable, but rendered as translucent muted vermilion/carmine and smoky violet watercolor, not opaque saturated stage-photo blocks.
3. Replace the STONE MATERIAL of the canal walls, rim and rail with near-white weathered Japanese hinoki timber. Keep their exact serpentine plan, width, elevation, stairs/waterfalls and perspective. Show fine longitudinal wood grain, discreet plank seams, end grain at waterfall lips and joinery: visibly pale WOOD, not stone, not beige masonry. Keep the existing blue water, gold hardware and paper boats. Do NOT replace the transparent blue-lavender underlying layers or the small natural rocks in the landscape with wood.

Unify the entire painting in the original refined graphite-and-watercolor touch. Realistic figures, gentle local contrast, high-key white, pale mineral blue and lavender, very soft edges dissolving into white paper. Preserve abundant upper white negative space. No hard rectangle border. No graphic flat ukiyo-e silhouettes, no anime, no photograph collage, no heavy black outlines. No text, no signatures, no annotations. Keep all content inside the original 1536x1024 crop. Keep the landscape and boats unchanged as closely as possible; only the people and canal material are to change. Produce a polished research-editorial cover, not a theater poster.
