The Shadow Faced Influence of Junichi Nakahara

Junichi Nakahara (1913-1988) was a prominent artist well-known for his illustrations, fashion designs, interior decorating and doll making. He started out as a dress designer and fashion illustrator and in the 1920s he was attracted to illustrating for Shojo magazines* and produced the cover art for several issues of “Shojo no Tomo” (Girls’ Friend) up into the ’30s.

His lyrical illustrations of young girls with big eyes were famous and people consider him as a forerunner of manga art. (Bio and image source)

Junichi Nakahara also created a series of fairy tale illustrations that features the silhouettes of his subjects. 

These elegant depictions of fantasy would become direct inspiration for the box art of Revolutionary Girl Utena.

As well as the bumpers for Sailor Moon Crystal

But this art style involving shadowy figures can be found in other examples of anime, such as in the opening of the shoujo series Dear Brother.

It even pops up in non-shoujo titles such as Arakawa Under the Bridge.

While many anime fans might not of ever heard of Junichi Nakahara his influence is clearly still around.

Thanks to featherfleece for making this connection.

I just noticed that Junichi Terayama was mentioned directly in an interview in my Utena Black Rose saga DVD booklet! I immediately thought of this post. I was already convinced of his influence by the obvious visual parallels pointed out here, but now I’ve also got creator confirmation.

Interviewer: What was your impression when Director Ikuhara came to tell you about the world of Revolutionary Girl Utena?

Shichiro Kobayashi (art director): I remember that in the beginning he brought along some art by Junichi Nakahara. Junichi Nakahara took the world by storm with the girlish lyricism of his work. He was also an illustrator, but I have to say I was struck by the great artistry of that work.

Wow, that’s really awesome.

When someone says something reminded them of you. You know

every day i see people online being needlessly cruel and hateful over the most pointless things and it only motivates me to be kinder and more understanding out of spite

you're right, things suck and could be better! so i'll start with me
