Japan is a very traditional country. I expressed such an old Japanese culture as a theme. For example, the eyebrows are drawn in a high position called Tonoue-brow, a makeup method used in the Nara period. We also used kimono, a national costume, and Japanese umbrellas made with traditional methods and materials. The hazy effect is based on the Japanese painting technique called "Suyarikasumi".
