Atelier Jisuke's "Richard III" Poster Series

Atelier Jisuke's "Richard III" poster series, part of a larger Shakespearean collection, is a contemporary interpretation of the classic play. The series, initiated in Tokyo in 2015, aims to capture the fundamental human truths and strong emotions depicted in Shakespeare's works through modern posters. The poster, standing at 728mm x 1030mm, uses offset printing and an embossing effect to bring the characters and emotions to life.

The poster uniquely portrays the strong emotions of human beings, particularly focusing on the fascinating villain, Richard III. The design showcases his noble yet fragile nature, symbolized by the image of a Japanese castle made of stones on a seabed background. The typography intertwines with the imagery, representing the entwined fate of the characters.

Despite being created for domestic events, the "Richard III" poster has gained international recognition through participation in various global exhibitions and competitions. Jisuke Matsuda's dedication to reinterpreting Shakespeare's works in line with modern times is evident in this visually striking and emotionally evocative design.
