text photo it reads: First, my studio purchased a high-resolution photograph from the Tokyo National Museum, scanned it, and converted it into line drawing with A.l. But we stumbled right there; the original paintings are not fully legible and some of the details have not survived so A.I. couldn’t adequately extract the desired graphic elements and we had no choice but to redraw everything by hand! So, nine people worked on drawing day and night. As a result, the facial features of the figures are not traced from Matabei’s work, but they are a Murakami original version. White Tiger and Black Tortoise were a different story. Especially with Black Tortoise, I had never drawn a tortoise before and had no clue, so I first drew a vague small sketch, fed it to A.l., inputted ‘turtle,’ ‘soft-shell turtle,’ and so on, loaded my draft sketch into LoRA, a refining technique for large language model and image generation Al model, but it was hard to get a good result, so I ended up outputting more than 200 different images, piecing them together, collaging them, and then loading them into LoRA again to create the final design.
