Five Samurai
Five Samurai is a digital mural painting created for a Japanese restaurant. The artwork shows five samurai figures in calm standing poses, without weapons, so that references to war are avoided. Snow and golden autumn leaves surround the figures and suggest quiet beauty and the passing of time. The painting was made with digital painting software and printed for a wall measuring 7253 mm in width and 2228 mm in height. The figures are placed in the central area to suit the uneven wall surface. The aim is to let guests sense the atmosphere of ancient Japan while dining.
