Art style: Anime.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright — an elderly wise samurai grandfather, tall but slightly stooped with age, waiting for his grandson in a snowbound mountain village. Weathered oval face, deep laugh-lines and crow's feet, calm narrow eyes, warm amber-brown irises, tanned leathery skin. Long silver-white hair pulled into a thin topknot, matching flowing white beard and moustache. He wears a deep indigo-blue kimono and a padded charcoal haori over the shoulders, a faded grey hakama, and a wide obi sash holding a single sheathed katana. Thin sinewy hands, one resting on the sword hilt. Traditional white tabi socks and straw waraji sandals. Gentle patient half-smile, standing before a wooden hut, soft warm window light, cold blue mountains and large falling snowflakes behind him.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
