Introduction
Hello, this is Easygoing.
Today I’m introducing Krea-2-Nippon_clear, a newly released anime-oriented model that excels at Japanese aesthetic expression and features rich, deep blue tones.
Krea 2: An Image Generation AI Dedicated to Artistic Expression
Krea 2 is an image generation AI model released by Krea.ai that prioritizes artistic quality.
About Krea 2
About the Krea-2-Turbo_clear Model
Previously I introduced Krea-2-Turbo_clear, an anime-illustration-tuned version of the Krea-2-Turbo model. This time I’ve further refined and improved upon that foundation.
Nippon LoRA: Expanding Japanese Aesthetic Expression
Nippon LoRA is an additional training model released by Takah0x that expands Japanese-style expression for Krea-2.
About Nippon LoRA
Takah0x’s Creative Concept
Using Nippon LoRA improves the model’s response to Japanese-related keywords in prompts and adds greater depth, especially to blues and other colors.
For this release I merged Nippon LoRA into my earlier Krea-2-Turbo_clear model and performed a full round of re-tuning.
Actual Illustrations!
Let’s look at some real examples.
On the left is the newly tuned Krea-2-Nippon_clear model; on the right is the previous Krea-2-Turbo_clear model.

Compared with the Krea-2-Turbo_clear output on the right, the Krea-2-Nippon_clear results show higher detail in Japanese aesthetic elements.
In terms of color as well, the left-side Krea-2-Nippon_clear images have higher saturation and, in particular, deeper, richer blue tones.
More Examples!
Here are additional illustrations generated with the Krea-2-Nippon_clear model.
All prompts were created using Krea 2’s official Prompt Enhancer.
Ukiyo-e Style
A dynamic close-up shot from an upper-body perspective, capturing a serious female anime character in a traditional Japanese kimono rendered in deep blue and royal purple hues, styled in the classic ukiyoe painting tradition with fine inkwork and dramatic brushstroke textures; her face is sharply detailed with intense, focused expression, framed against a softly blurred background that hints at a classical Japanese scene, lit with soft directional light that highlights the texture of her fabric and the solemnity of her gaze, the composition feels like a deliberate studio portrait by a skilled painter, blending anime aesthetics with the timeless elegance of ukiyoe art.Popular Kappo Restaurant
A dynamic, slightly low-angle close-up shot focusing on the upper body and face of a smiling female anime character wearing an elegant traditional Japanese kimono, her expression joyful and lively as she holds a plate of freshly served sushi and tempura in front of her, set against the warm, dimly lit ambiance of a bustling traditional Japanese restaurant with wooden accents, hanging lanterns, and steam rising from the dishes, rendered in vibrant anime style with soft highlights and rich cultural detail.Guide of Time
A close-up, upper-body shot of a white female anime character with striking blue eyes and vibrant purple hair, wearing a sleek blue jacket adorned with gold embellishments over a red corset, topped with an ornate, large hat featuring intricate gears and cogs, accented by a single red rose and captured mid-turn around in a dynamic Dutch angle; the scene is bathed in warm golden light from a sunrise or sunset backdrop filled with glowing golden gears, while the character's flowing hair and clothing are gently tousled by wind, rendered with vivid, saturated colors dominated by deep blues, burgundy, indigo, royal purple, and transparent highlights, set against a simple blurred bokeh background that emphasizes her elegant, stylish silhouette and subtle little smile, all in a cinematic anime style with soft focus and dramatic lighting.Kimono
A realistic, high-detail close-up of a woman's face and upper body, captured from a Dutch angle, with her blue eyes gazing softly forward and a delicate little smile playing on her lips; wind gently lifts strands of her hair as she turns slightly around, holding a small flower tucked behind her ear, dressed in a vibrant, floral-patterned kimono blending traditional Japanese design with modern flair, its fabric woven with intricate blossoms in shades of burgundy, indigo, deep blue, royal purple, and pink against crisp white accents, all rendered with transparent, elegant draping that suggests both movement and sophistication; the background is a softly blurred, minimalist floral backdrop with bokeh highlights to emphasize her figure, bathed in soft, diffused lighting that enhances the vividness of her attire and the emotional grace of the moment, evoking the timeless elegance of a modern reinterpretation of classical Japanese art.Night Street
A realistic, cinematic close-up of a woman's face and upper body, captured in a dramatic Dutch angle, with short brown hair gently tousled by the wind, her blue eyes softly gazing forward and a delicate little smile playing on her lips; she wears an elegant, stylish floral dress in rich, translucent hues of burgundy, indigo, deep blue, and royal purple, catching the ambient glow from streetlights and car headlights that softly illuminate her features and the sleek curves of the car beside her; the background is a blurred, atmospheric cityscape at night, rendered with bokeh and mist or smoke to enhance mystery, all set against a simple, dark backdrop that keeps focus on her poised, turning-around stance, the lighting creates a romantic, moody ambiance with soft highlights and gentle shadows, emphasizing texture, depth, and elegance.The Krea-2-Nippon_clear model can also produce photorealistic-style illustrations when prompts such as “realistic” or “photorealistic” are used. However, as with other “clear” series models, the output tends to be low-noise. If the skin looks too clean, consider using a detail-enhancing LoRA.

That concludes the introduction to the Krea-2-Nippon_clear model.
Even while tuning it, Krea 2 remains straightforward and stable—making the whole process genuinely enjoyable.
With the Illustrious-XL-based anime models I’ve used until now, pushing for higher image quality often resulted in a hard, plastic-like look. In contrast, Krea 2 derivative models deliver a more transparent and natural expression.
Why not take this opportunity to try Krea-2-Nippon_clear for yourself?
