Last year I was commissioned to create the illustrations for a web-only pop-up book “Mori no Yosei Monogatari” to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Japanese Sellotape manufacturer Nichiban (you can still see the book by clicking on the book icon here).
It was an advertising campaign more than a children’s book commission. To emphasise the eco-friendly policy of the company I was asked to create the images in a deliberately traditional style. It’s difficult to see some of the detail in the web book, so here are a few scans of the artwork.
