Fukusaya
This advertisement looks back at the history of the introduction of sponge cake to Nagasaki in the series 'Castellike Nagasaki'. I was conscious of the vintage feel of the image and drew it on light brown washi-like paper, and I used a variety of my own ideas to draw it. As it was a historical event, it was difficult to find materials, and there were times when I used period dramas and films as references for my drawings. It is a series of 12 issues, four a year for three years. It has been published in Katei Gaho, ANA Winged Kingdom and Nagasaki Shimbun.
