Books and flyers

 When we were just prepared before shooting started, we have still got time to try making something. There were a lots of books Buyers took back from Japan. Wooden printed.

I thought it was interesting - there are bigger margins on top than bottom, letters were printed to right on the edges of pages.Western manuscripts were completely opposite. Maybe we used to bind in a different way?
Wood cut letters looks interesting, too. They remind me R.Koch's gothic letters.





How lucky I was - getting paid, do this kind a thing!
This was my copy.








Then put cloths covers front and back, bound in Japanese way.

Later I also made a series of manner books in Kira's chamber. Never dreamt those are in actual shots.





Also in the references we found this lovely looking thing not knowing what this was. With online search help, this was a sort of manner books to show how to behave in the palace...  Where to enter, vow and dismiss from Shogun's place.





Copied diagram, make a little notebooks, put them in a case as in the references and tied with silken thread.
Used paper from Falkiners / Shepherds, of course.






Designer and Art Director liked it, wanted to use it as leaflets to the audience and fighters to Blue Lotus game. Show where Shogun is, each team were sitting.
‘Ok. How many do you need?’
‘Hmm about 200? Shooting is tomorrow after sunset.’






Had to use copier machine!
Chose paper which still looks like old handmade Japanese paper that copier likes, folded and glued.







There you go, 200 of them!
I bet no one notice these also on a film, too!
