This project is called "Mukashi mukashi - Tales from Japan", an amazing work I made during my third year at Scuola Internazionale di Comics in Turin, May/June 2019.
We had a traditional Japanese tale to turn into a little illustrated book.
The story is about a mother, her son and a...kingfisher.
I really liked studying and discovering a lot of things about the Japanese culture.
I particularly loved exploring all the meanings behind the female hairstyles, the subject I chose for the endpapers illustrations.
Hope you enjoy it!
