A high-quality editorial illustration in a slightly cinematic, gekiga-inspired style. This is a fully illustrated scene — not photorealistic, not a photograph. A dramatic moment during the Hakone Ekiden road race in Japan. In the foreground, a university ekiden coach (male, middle-aged) is standing on the roadside, visibly shocked and surprised. His eyes are wide open, mouth slightly agape, and his posture leans forward instinctively, as if reacting to something completely unexpected unfolding in the race. His expression clearly conveys disbelief and sudden tension, not joy or celebration. He is wearing typical ekiden coach attire: a team jacket, gloves, and winter clothing suitable for early January conditions. In the mid-ground, ekiden runners are passing by on the road at race pace, emphasizing that the race is actively ongoing. The runners are not the focus individually, but their movement reinforces urgency and context. The setting is an urban roadside typical of the Hakone Ekiden course: wide asphalt road, winter trees without leaves, traffic signs, utility poles, and spectators standing behind simple barriers, all clearly illustrated with depth and detail. The composition uses a slightly low side-angle, placing the viewer near the roadside, enhancing immediacy and tension. Motion is expressed through subtle blur lines and dynamic body language, not exaggerated effects. The mood is tense, unexpected, and observational — capturing the instant a coach realizes something has gone wrong or changed suddenly in the race. No text, no captions, no logos, no exaggerated drama, no comic style. Editorial illustration quality suitable for a serious analytical article.
