Bon Odori Poster 2019

In 2019, it was my first time making a promotional poster for BCSF’s Ginza Bazaar and Bon Odori.

I looked through the photos that the photographers took of the event in the previous year, and this one stuck out. I loved the look and feel of it and made my design around it.

I wanted a clean and minimalistic poster to promote the event. I used the same colors as the Daruma (the tiny illustration), which a late temple member illustrated.

Tenugui Towel

Let’s make a tenugui for our 88th anniversary!

In Japanese traditions, celebrating 88 years old is considered good luck. Since it was the 88th anniversary of BCSF’s Bon Odori, they decided to make a tenugui, a towel, and a Bon Odori dance accessory. We went back and forth with the designs between the members and those who printed the tenugui in Japan. We ultimately ended up with a very simple but effective design.

Promotional Postcard Pieces

I made a few postcard designs. Here are two of them promoting the Bon Odori. I kept the design consistent from the poster and promotional pieces. Each card was 5x7”.
