Here “oriental jellyfish” means an original Japanese-inspired jellyfish composition, not a specific traditional symbol. The strongest distinction comes from waves, cloud curls and controlled flowing lines.
Read the bell
Keep the bell clear before adding internal pattern. It should remain recognizable at the final size.
Control the flow
Use separated tentacle groups and one supporting wave or cloud rhythm so the design follows the limb without becoming tangled.
Avoid false tradition
Describe the work as Japanese-inspired unless an informed artist is using a specific documented tradition.
