Pagoda and Bridge Room Murals, 2023

continuing with nature and Japanese scenery in the restaurant, we decided to theme the private dining rooms with seasons. this room's season is fall, depicting the changing of leaf colors on gingko and maple trees paired with a traditional bridge and pagoda.

the chef/owner of Akatsuki was renewing the restaurant, a local Gardena, CA spot for the past 30 years. wanting to bridge the gap between the loyal customers in the Japanese community and the younger generation, the owner asked for a stencil art perspective on traditional Japanese themes.
