Give us a dream the size of a kingdom. A fan homage to Yasuhisa Hara's Kingdom: a sumi-e world inked live in WebGL, with brush edges and paper grain on every frame, an army that grows from a hundred men to sixty thousand, and a manga read as a stage.

01The Hi Shin Unit
A Hundred Men to Sixty Thousand
Two slave boys, Shin and Hyou, fight on the road every day with wooden swords; take one up and fight the bout with a swipe. The great general Ou Ki gives Shin's hundred men their name; hold anywhere to close your eyes and see what a general sees. Tap to beat the drum and the unit grows, marched on the GPU from baked animation. Drag across the field to aim, let go to charge. Then the Six Great Generals, and Ei Sei's dream: one country, every border gone.
On the phone the field turns upright: the army marches toward you and the drum sits under the thumb.
02The Record
A Few Lines in Sima Qian
The pages are read right to left, as they are drawn. Shin is a manga hero; Li Xin was a general of Qin. Sima Qian gave him a few lines in the Records of the Grand Historian, and Yasuhisa Hara built a life on them. Then the maker, the generals in their own words, and 飛 inked in three dimensions under a light you move.
