Video: A look at the making of the Mario and Luigi Rimpa screen painting
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 0 comments
In October, a special Super Mario Bros. screen painting will go on display in Kyoto. It comes in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary, as well as the 400th anniversary of the Rimpa school.
Mario is represented as “Raijin” (Japanese god of thunder and storms) in the piece while Luigi is shown as “Fujin” (Japanese god of wind). These two tend to be paired in Japanese art, much like Nintendo’s famous brothers.
The painting itself is created in Rimpa style. For a look at its creation, check out the official Nintendo video below.
