OTO (音) | A Fictional Audio Archive ✨

What if headphones had been invented in Edo-period Japan? 🎧

I created OTO for the Recraft × Contra Archive Style Challenge, inspired by my love for traditional Japanese ukiyo-e illustrations.

I used historical Japanese prints to create my own custom Recraft Style, then imagined a series of vintage advertisements for headphones that never existed in that period.

I had a lot of fun bringing these imaginary scenes to life, from curious crowds discovering a new invention to people enjoying music in their own little worlds. I also experimented with subtle animations to make some of the illustrations feel like living woodblock prints.

To complete the experience, I created the music using Suno, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese melodies to complement the atmosphere of the project.

A big thank you to Recraft, Contra, and Suno for helping bring this creative experiment to life!
