"Sakaba Makimono / Bar Room Scroll"
Like in many other countries, drinking is a huge pastime in Japan. With this design, I wanted to encapsulate the subtle yet flashy aesthetics of Tokyo's Shinjuku ward at night. Shinjuku is one of the largest red light districts within Japan, and has been ever since the Edo Period (around the 17th century). Japan's drink of choice is, of course, Sake, though many Japanese are known to favor beer and even whisky.
