About Horyukaku Léaráid

Tagann inspioráid do na léaráidí ó litríocht chlasaiceach na Seapáine Nanso Satomi Hakkenden. Is radharc coitianta é Horyukaku in Kabuki. Is é téama na ndearaí ná dearadh traidisiúnta na Seapáine agus na hEorpa. Tarraingíodh móitífeanna traidisiúnta Seapánacha trí stíleanna Art Nouveau agus Art Deco a ionchorprú. Déanadh péinteáil lámh-tharraingthe ar dtús agus ansin dathaíodh é i Photoshop chun teacht níos gaire do chaighdeán an fhíordearaidh seanré. Cé nach raibh na daoine a fheiceann an dearadh ina gcónaí sa ré sin, is féidir leo taithí agus cumha a mhothú.
