About Horyukaku Sary

Avy amin'ny literatiora mahazatra Japoney Nanso Satomi Hakkenden ny aingam-panahy ho an'ireo sary. Horyukaku dia sehatra malaza ao Kabuki. Ny lohahevitry ny endrika dia firindran'ny endrika Japoney sy Eoropeana nentim-paharazana. Ny motif Japoney nentim-paharazana dia nalaina tamin'ny fampidirana ny fomba Art Nouveau sy Art Deco. Ny sary hosodoko nataon-tanana voalohany dia natao ary avy eo nolokoina tao amin'ny Photoshop mba hanakaiky kokoa ny kalitaon'ny endrika vintage tena izy. Na dia tsy niaina tamin'io vanim-potoana io aza ny olona nahita ny endrika, dia afaka mahatsapa ny fahalalany sy ny nostalgia.
