Lukang 64 Stores
O***T
Overall design is based on the change of time in Lukang, thus the character wears half Eastern and half Western clothing. Lukang used to be an open port and it has history of being occupied by Dutch, Japanese, and Chinese. That’s why I have added some elements of those countries, so that people can imagine how Lukang used to be prosperous. The reason I chose the name Lu Si Chan is because the pronunciation of Lu is same for Lukang’s Lu, Si Chan means merchant or store, which suggests him to be a merchant.
