TOKYO
‘TOKYO’

This design is based on Tokyo - a city that I have visited and love for its beauty, culture and food. From the intricacy and detail seen in product packaging and Japanese textiles, to the outrageous and unique fashion and Graphic Arts - I find all aspects of Japanese design to be stunning! I photographed some Washi tape that I had bought on my travels, some Kokeshi dolls and even my sushi lunch! I also added some Japanese graphics of clouds and a pretty vintage bird nestling in the cherry blossom that Japan is so famous for. Mount Fuji sits in the background, with another Tokyo landmark at the bottom - the famous Shibuya crossing, said to be the busiest crossing in the world with as many as 10,000 people crossing in one red light cycle!
