The style of these styleframes are meant to mimic the look of traditional Okinawan resist-dyed cloth called, bingata. The imagery reflects cultural locations and aspects of Naha, Okinawa.

The Challenge:

Illustrate styleframes that capture the essence of Okinawa's biggest city in a culturally sensitive and inviting way.

The Outcome:

The colorful quality of bingata is an art form that was traditionally used for royalty. The style was passed down and is now popularly used in both traditional and modern art. Using this artform amplifies the sense of tradition even in Okinawa's biggest city—Naha.
