The challenge was

Submit a design inspired by Japanese Art.

Tiny islands. Big Culture.

Thousands of years of Japanese culture have produced a seemingly infinite, elegant body of artwork. From painting and calligraphy to sculpture and pottery, the culture has inspired us with attention to detail, expert skill in brushwork and a unique perspective on architecture in relation to environment.

Help us pay homage by submitting a design inspired by the art of Japan. We've created a Pinterest board to get you started but don't stop there! Read up on different artistic periods, study the beautiful Japanese characters and admire buildings that are so distinctly Japanese.
