About Five Samurai Pictura Muralis Digitalis

Quinque Samurai est pictura muralis digitalis quae popinae Iaponicae facta est. Opus artis quinque figuras samurai in statu tranquillo stantes ostendit, sine armis, ita ut significationes belli vitentur. Nix et folia autumnalia aurea figuras circumdant et pulchritudinem quietam ac tempus praetereuntem significant. Pictura instrumento programmatis picturae digitalis facta est et impressa pro pariete 7253 mm latitudinis et 2228 mm altitudinis. Figurae in area centrali positae sunt ut superficiei parietis inaequali aptentur. Propositum est ut hospites, dum cenant, aerem antiquae Iaponiae sentiant.

Unique Properties: This illustration is named "Five Samurai", which is used for the advertisement and illustration of a Japanese restaurant. It is hoped that the customers will feel as if they are dining in the samurai world with an experience of the tranquility and beauty of the ancient Japan.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is Digital Mural Painting (Width 7253 mm x Height 2228 mm) in Five Samurai - K11 Musea. And the artwork is painted in photoshop for print out and Mural on the wall.
Tags: Five Samurai, K11 Musea, HK Illustration, Digital Painting, Mural Painting
Production Technology: This Mural Painting was drawn by Photoshop CC.
Design Challenge: As it is the Mural Painting for restaurant, the concept should be avoided some symbolic meaning like blood and war issue. So the Samurai are standby or relaxing pose and are not holding any weapon on hand. Also for the consideration of the printing on uneven wall the position of Samurai should be place in the main part.
Research: Reference of Japanese traditional culture and the Samurai equipment such as swords, armors and helmets. The reference of the hierarchy of Generals.
Inspiration: This is a piece of art based on a concept from the name of a restaurant - "Five Samurai". The image of the Samurai, a classic Japanese warrior, is presented with a strong sense of the polarised and contradictory role in the country’s traditional culture. It implies a significant vision of power and royalty, brutality and elegance, irrationality and total obedience. The sternly presence of the samurais in the pale beauty of snow outlines the sad reality of their tragic life. The golden colour leaves in the autumn have a declining sentiment, which has successfully illustrated the short and brief glory of samurais.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2021 and finished in November 2021 in Hong Kong, and was Shown in Five Samurai - K11 Musea Hong Kong in January 2022.
Operation Flow: Use the software to visualize the digital painting and output for Mural printing.
