Flowing sleeves, dark hair and a blossom base bring movement and rhythm to a composed standing pose.

Japanese-inspired character · Costume study

01 · Example brief

An example brief for a Japanese-inspired collectible: keep a quiet expression while hair, sleeves and petals follow one consistent direction.

02 · Design discussion

Discuss folds, pattern density and the sheathed sword. Choose the main viewing angle before deciding which details to retain or simplify.

03 · Factory assessment

Have the factory assess extended sleeves, hair thickness, mold seams and petal supports. Strength and appearance need to be considered together.

04 · Prototype checkpoints

Compare the eyes, facial shading, pattern alignment and sleeve clearances so that assembly does not hide the expression.

05 · Production and inspection plan

Plan checks for missing print, paint bleed, bent hair tips, sheath fit and base tilt, recording acceptable variation in the sample checklist.

06 · Packing and delivery plan

Leave individual cushioning spaces for hair and sleeves, with separate compartments for petals. Decide the unpacking and assembly sequence before designing the insert.
