だんごトランプ - Dango Playing Cards Hanami edition back design (Original Design)

About the design:
I like playing cards and japanese culture, so I decided to connect these two concepts and inspired by the food-related card designs of BaoBao.restaurant (check the page on instagram) I created the Dango playing cards, using the japanese colorful sweets as reference.

About the renders:
I used the dango sweets, the cherry blossom flowers and wooden tableware from my previous projects.
The card displays (stack or fan display) use geometry nodes setups, used also in previous projects, adding new features when needed, such as in this case the ability to alternate the card's orientation by 180 degrees in the fan display.
For the tree shadow as a Gobo Light, I used a spot light with a tree silhouette texture.

About Hanami Dango:
Dango (団子) is a Japanese dumpling made from rice flour mixed with uruchi rice flour and glutinous rice flour. Generally, dango comes under the category of wagashi, traditional Japanese confections that are often served with green tea. It is eaten year-round, but the different varieties are traditionally eaten in given seasons.
Hanami dango (花見だんご) has three colors (pink, green, white), and is traditionally made during sakura-viewing season, hence the name (hanami means "flower viewing"). The order of the three colored dumplings is said to represent the order in which cherry blossoms bloom. Pink represents cherry buds, white represents cherry blossoms in full bloom, and green represents leafy cherry blossoms after they have fallen. (Wikipedia)
