The Seven Sushi restaurant/sushi bar apparel design all revolves around the my choice of the Japanese rising sun image as the main focus. The Rising Sun Flag was originally used by feudal warlords in Japan during the Edo Period (1603–1868 CE). On May 15, 1870, as a policy of the Meiji Government, it was adopted as the war flag of the Imperial Japanese Army, and on October 7, 1889, it was adopted as the Naval Ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy. It is still used in Japan as a symbol of tradition and good fortune, and is incorporated into commercial products and advertisements.
I felt it was fitting imagery that screamed sushi and Japanese traditional food. I found a font that followed suite to match the look and feel of the rising sun image. I then used a more Montana (instead of Mt Fuji, Japan) looking mountain scape image to couple with the rising sun in an east meets west motif. The female samurai/japanimation image I created to tie in another element of Japanese culture that would be relatable to millennials and Gen-Xers.
