This set of Saburo Kunimune's attire has a very direct visual impact. The orange-red wig has been heavily volumized, and a lot of hairspray is needed on the edges of the hair strands to present this outward-scattering sense of layering. In terms of makeup, a white base makeup and large-area blended red eyeshadow are the focus; the transition of the edges needs to be repeatedly adjusted to present a tranquil atmosphere when the eyes are slightly closed.

The layering of the costume is the key to this restoration. There are faint golden hidden patterns on the outer black kimono robe, which only appear under specific lighting angles. The most eye-catching part is the red velvet shawl draped over the shoulders, and the long dangling tassels are very easy to entangle; untangling these tassels before the shoot took a lot of time. The golden-yellow obi at the waist forms a sharp contrast with the black geometric grid texture, playing a great role in tightening the visual effect.

The black shoulder armor worn on the left side is a relatively substantial part of this styling. The golden horizontal stripes on it are neatly arranged, and the bottom features exquisite metal flower and leaf decorations. When wearing it, the angle needs to be adjusted to avoid shifting during movements. On the dark green base fabric at the hem, a large area of auspicious clouds and landscape golden thread embroidery has a great texture under the studio lighting. Because of the high embroidery density, the overall weight of the clothes is not light.

To match the dignified temperament of this outfit, the kneeling posture was mainly adopted during the shoot. Maintaining this posture for a long time is a great test for the legs, waist, and back. After spreading out the hem of the clothes, the direction of the folds needs to be continuously adjusted to ensure that the golden thread embroidery part can be fully displayed. The red-scabbard katana in front is an important visual extension, and the red scabbard echoes the tassels of the shawl in color.

Throughout the shooting process, the control of details is the focus. The solid light pink background well set off the three main color tones of black, red, and gold, preventing the background from being too cluttered and stealing the visual focus of the costume. Adjusting breathing, lowering the head slightly, and letting the white eyelashes and red eye makeup form a clear contrast under the lens, the whole process requires maintaining a sense of muscle tension. The presentation of the costume embroidery and accessory textures this time aligns well with my understanding of this character's styling.
