For instance, he designed the first costume Lady Ochiba (Fumi Nikaido) appears in based on a painting of the “Lady Ochiba of that period.” “That was the first time that I used a painting to create one of my costumes,” he said.
“In the beginning of Episode 2 in the flashback, we see Lady Ochiba for the first time, and she’s wearing this beautiful uchikake that we made from scratch.

Does she have telekinetic powers? No, she broke it with her hand (which bleeds into the sink), but the force of her repressed rage is palpable.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor It might seem hard to believe after viewing the series, but “Shōgun” production designer Helen Jarvis had never been to Japan, had never read James Clavell’s nearly 1,200-page novel and she had never before worked on a 10-part TV series when she first came on the FX show.
