I recently earned my 6th-dan and would like to celebrate it by adding elegant, Traditional Japanese illustrations of the three core tea-ceremony utensils—Chawan, Chasen, and Chashaku—onto the front panel of my bamboo Kiji Dō. I already have reference photos and rough sketches that capture the spirit I’m after, but they still need an experienced designer’s touch to polish proportion, line weight, and overall harmony so the set feels cohesive when transferred to lacquered armor. Here is what I need from you: • Refine my existing concepts into final, high-resolution digital artwork suitable for stencil or direct hand-painting. • Keep the style authentically Japanese: think subtle brushwork, restrained color, and respect for wabi-sabi aesthetics—no cherry blossoms, kanji, or extra symbols. • Supply vector and raster files plus a scaled mock-up on a Dō template so the painter sees exactly where each element sits. • Help me source or recommend a Kyoto-Osaka–area artisan (or studio) experienced in painting Kendo equipment; a short list with contact info and sample links is plenty. Acceptance criteria 1. Final artwork approved by me in PDF/SVG and 300 dpi PNG. 2. Mock-up aligns with my armor’s measurements (I’ll send photos and dimensions). 3. At least three qualified local painter leads delivered. If you have a background in both traditional Japanese illustration and sports gear customization, I’d love to collaborate.
