Art Director and Setting Artist Masahiro Sato discusses the behind-the-scenes of the art production for the anime 'Shabake'.Summary
In this interview, Masahiro Sato, the Art Director and Art Setting artist for the anime 'Shabake,' shares insights from the production. He mentioned that the staff, including Director Okawa, seemed young, and he found designing the major Nihonbashi shop, 'Nagasakiya,' interesting, although its final scale was reduced from his initial vision. Sato particularly likes the scene connecting Yushima Seido to Shohei Bridge featured in the first two episodes. Concluding, he expressed slight anxiety about how much of the original novel's atmosphere was captured but enjoyed working on a period piece, hoping viewers can feel the Edo period from about 150 years ago.
