Prompt
A minimalist monochrome illustration of a traditional Japanese samurai helmet and shoulder armor, shown as a centered bust-length portrait on a plain light gray background. The armor is rendered in black ink engraving style with high contrast, dense stippling, etched linework, and vintage woodcut texture. The kabuto has two tall curved crest horns and layered side guards, with detailed lacing and plate construction visible on the shoulder section. The face area is completely obscured by a centered vertical black rectangle censor bar with slightly soft edges, covering the mask and most of the front of the helmet opening. Keep the composition small and isolated in the middle of the canvas with large negative space around it, no additional objects, no text, no border.
