The Shogun Drop
In the Cleveland Museum of Art's open-access collection I found Tosa Mitsuyoshi's gold-leaf screens of peafowl and phoenixes (late 1500s), Edo-period Tale of Genji screens, and a group of iron and brass sword guards (tsuba). Their gold leaf, lacquer and patinated iron became a Recraft Style, which I used to shoot The Shogun Drop — a fictional fashion campaign where every modern gadget returns in the shape of its Edo ancestor. The inro, a lacquer case worn on a silk cord, comes back as a power bank; the sword guard becomes a phone grip; the hunting falcon on a glove becomes a drone; armor lacing turns into charging cables.
