Hamlet - Beginning (in Heian Japan)

Description

ハムレット(初めて)Graphite and watercolor. Mood image: img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…

Part of a series costume designing a production of Hamlet set in Heian Japan. For Hamlet, I am showing a number of things including his transformation from a scholar (this costume) to a warrior (the other one), and also dealing with blue, red and the imagery of the sea. Inside his sleeves is the segaiha wave pattern, a more contemplative wave pattern.

For every design in this series, I was inspired by a Japanese monster. For this design, I was inspired by the inugami, a mysterious, yet often benign dog spirit (seen in the mood image above).
