KONAN

小南 · 紙使いの術 · Kami no Shisha no Jutsu

Kunoichi of the Rain, known for her absolute command of origami jutsu and for a presence as cold as it is elegant. Mysticism and lethality: clean lines, muted colours, a look as light as paper and as dangerous as a blade of it.

  • 紙kamipaper

Konan turns her body into thousands of sheets of paper she controls at will.

Reference

Paper, before cloth.

The Akatsuki robe, the origami flower, a Korean polo sweatshirt and a white piping on a sleeve. Four things that end up as a single garment.

  • The character · [YURINEHUEN]

    The character

    Violet grey, high collar, the paper flower in her hair.

  • The origami · [YURINEHUEN]

    The origami

    Paper roses. The chest print comes literally from here.

  • The Akatsuki robe · [YURINEHUEN]

    The Akatsuki robe

    Absolute black with accents. Hence the garment's dark base.

  • The Korean polo · [YURINEHUEN]

    The Korean polo

    Formal and comfortable at once. The wide collar is the key to the cut.

  • The sleeve piping · [YURINEHUEN]

    The sleeve piping

    A white line running down the arm. The direct reference to paper.

Reference research. Character imagery belongs to its respective owners and appears here as study material from the process.

Colour board

Four colours. Three of them barely show.

The same codes as the original colour board. The blackened blue is almost the whole garment; the lavender appears on shoulders, cuffs and waist; the white draws the collar and the sleeve lines. The red exists in exactly one place: the inner collar tab, the size of a fingernail.

From paper to flat

The same garment, twice.

On the left, what was written by hand. On the right, the same thing resolved, in the same frame. Nothing moves between one and the other.

The decisions

Six decisions. Each one comes from paper.

  1. Fragmented flowers in the cloth

  1. A Korean polo sweatshirt

    It comes from the elegant, minimal, structured aesthetic of Korean fashion, and of Konan herself. It combines formality and comfort: silent, precise, sophisticated.

  2. Black, for Akatsuki

    I chose black to stand for Konan's classic Akatsuki robe, keeping the character's elegant, restrained look.

  3. Lavender shoulders

    On the shoulders I applied purple panels: the tone of her hair, reinforcing her visual presence.

  4. The collar, large and white

    I made it large and white to create contrast and lift the garment's structure against the dark ground.

  5. White lines on the sleeves

    White line details on both sleeves, a direct reference to her paper power.

  6. Fragmented flowers in the cloth

    A gradient of fragmented origami flowers over the black cloth: subtle, almost imperceptible, as if it were part of the fabric's own texture.

The prints

Two graphics. A signature and a flower.

  • Brooket · Sloop script · [YURINEHUEN]

    Chest · centre

    Brooket · Sloop script

    The brand name in an elegant, fluid script, to carry Konan's delicacy and ethereal style, even inside her role as a villain.

  • The origami flower · [YURINEHUEN]

    Chest · right

    The origami flower

    A purple paper flower, as a symbol of her power and her history. It stands alone, crest-sized, opposite the signature.

Why a script

Konan does not shout. A block typeface would have turned her into another street label. The script is the decision that keeps the character's cold elegance inside a streetwear garment.

Translation

Konan no grita. Una tipografía de bloque la hubiera convertido en otra marca de calle. La cursiva es la decisión que mantiene la elegancia fría del personaje dentro de una prenda streetwear.

Pantone 11-3900 TCX · Wispy Clouds. The ground of this sheet is the garment's own collar and sleeve-line tone.

The Korean polo sweatshirt works as the perfect canvas for her essence: cold elegance, silent power and an identity shaped by origami and discipline.

The result

Kami no Shisha

The script signature at the size it actually reads: up close, on the chest.
