About Horyukaku Ilustrazioa

Ilustrazioetarako inspirazioa Nanso Satomi Hakkenden japoniar literatura klasikotik dator. Horyukaku Kabukiko eszena ezaguna da. Diseinuen gaia Japoniako eta Europako diseinu tradizionalen harmonia da. Japoniako motibo tradizionalak Art Nouveau eta Art Deco estiloak sartuz marraztu ziren. Lehenengo eskuz marraztutako pintura egin zen eta gero Photoshop-en koloreztatu zen, benetako vintage diseinu baten kalitatera hurbiltzeko. Diseinua ikusten duten pertsonak garai horretan bizi ez baziren ere, familiartasuna eta nostalgia senti ditzakete.
