Japan Photo Guide is an initiative by professional photographer Evan Pike. Japan Photo Guide approached Merkados™ with the task of creating a design that would accurately reflect the Japanese culture and promote photography tourism from the United State to Japan.
Merkados™ studied some of the most traditional archetypes of the Japanese culture including the beautiful wood works, the Torii, a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine and much more to come up with a design that felt both contemporary but traditional at the same time. Concepts that at first glance seem incompatible with one another.
