Aihara Nico Horyukaku Illustration
Horyukaku Illustration is Bronze Design Award winner in 2022 - 2023 Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award Category.
Horyukaku Illustration

Inspiration for the illustrations come from Japanese classic literature Nanso Satomi Hakkenden. Horyukaku is a popular scene in Kabuki. The theme of designs is harmony of traditional Japanese and European designs. Traditional Japanese motifs were drawn by incorporating the styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. First hand-drawn painting was made and then colored in Photoshop to get closer to the quality of a real vintage design. Even though people who see the design didn't live in that era, they can feel familiarity and nostalgia.
