About Horyukaku Illustratsioon

Illustratsioonide inspiratsioon on pärit Jaapani klassikalisest kirjandusest Nanso Satomi Hakkenden. Horyukaku on populaarne stseen Kabukis. Disainide teema on traditsioonilise Jaapani ja Euroopa disaini harmoonia. Traditsioonilised Jaapani motiivid joonistati juugendstiili ja art déco stiilide kaasamisega. Esmalt tehti käsitsi joonistatud maal ja seejärel värviti Photoshopis, et jõuda tõelise vintage-disaini kvaliteedile lähemale. Kuigi inimesed, kes disaini näevad, ei elanud sellel ajastul, võivad nad tunda tuttavlikkust ja nostalgiat.
