THE HAPPY NATTO LIBRARY

A good picture has a source.

Thirty editorial image selections, alongside the original brand artwork. Stock scenes do not imply endorsement or affiliation.

How the image library works.

The four newly approved AI illustrations are included in the package. The 26 Pexels photographs are selected individually and downloaded into this site’s Media Library during setup. They are not cropped from website mockups or hotlinked on the live site.

What a caption tells you

Ingredient photographs are labeled as ingredients, not completed recipes. Landscapes are not claimed to be supplier farms. Stock portraits do not stand in for actual customer accounts.

Your own replacements

The owner can select a different licensed image in the release library or a page section. Check its permission and write accurate alt text and captions before publishing. The original image selection is not a license for an unrelated replacement.
