DESIGN NAME: Five Samurai
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Digital Mural Painting
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.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Reference of Japanese traditional culture and the Samurai equipment such as swords, armors and helmets. The reference of the hierarchy of Generals.
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.
