DRAWING EDO by KANA URBANOWICZ
An upcoming book using the Edo (old Tokyo) stories from my 2017 "Inktober" comic as a base - containing all new contents and remake of the past comic pages.
After researching books about Edo (old Tokyo), ukiyo-e paintings showing that era, and learning from stories of past generations I feel a strange fondness for the lives of that city.
Popular meal recipes, images of living spaces, types of people one would meet on the street, food one would eat on a cold day or the sounds the great wooden bridges made...
From such great reference materials I tried to imagine everyday lives of usual people living in one of the Edo nagaya (longhouse).
