Romance-of-Three-Kingdoms-SM

Space Circle, a music label based in Hangzhou, China, organized joint concerts in Japan featuring three post-rock bands from three East Asian countries: Mono from Japan, Wang Wen (惘闻) from China, and Jambinai from South Korea. To promote the events, they invited three designers from the respective countries, including us, and asked them to design three special-edition posters. Following is the note we sent them regarding our work.

“The whole is greater than the sum of the parts” – this would be an expectation with a show like The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Like the historical events described in the eponymous novel, the show won’t necessarily be peaceful – it should not be. A great clash of sounds, passions, and ideas will erupt, elevating the venue to a sublime arena. It‘s going to be emotional. It’s going to be beautiful.
