For the Nikkei Cultural Society, Sakura developed more than individual deliverables. We built a connected story across brand, social media and a digital experience designed for the future.
01 · Identity
Nikkei Cultural Society · Flagship case study
A mark built from
meaning and connection.
The ensō
An open brush circle holds ideas of continuity, possibility and a living cultural journey, carrying heritage forward rather than sealing it in the past.
The mizuhiki knot
A Japanese ceremonial knot becomes a symbol of enduring relationships: generations, families and community ties woven into one shared centre.
The shibui palette
Olive speaks to rooted continuity, warm gold to welcome and celebration, and black to clarity and calligraphic authority.
Nikkei
Nikkei is the widely recognized term for people of Japanese heritage living outside Japan, connecting Japanese and Japanese Canadian culture, history and community in Southern Alberta.
