The Flight of the Heron

Between tradition and modernity, Japanese culture never ceases to fascinate. Follow this flying white heron on a journey through Japanese culture !

My design includes a white heron flying over a Japanese landscape, with Japanese architectural elements and references to Japanese customs, art and pop culture.
Here's what I've proposed in my design:
  • A White Heron which is a symbol of peace in Japan
  • The Tokyo Skytree
  • The Tokyo Tower
  • The "floating" Torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine
  • Cherry blossoms
  • Lotus flowers
  • A nod to the art of Takashi Murakami
  • The Great Wave off Kanagawa in front of the Mount Fuji
The base includes additional details:
  • A teapot in reference to the tea ceremony
  • Knots in reference to the kawaii culture
  • Chopsticks and sushi in reference to Japanese gastronomy
  • A Hand fan
  • A gamepad, a nod to the famous Japanese video game company
As Japan is known as the "Land of the Rising Sun" due to its etymological origin, the scene features a sunrise in the background.
