This is the fifth part of our series on Yu Suzuki's 1994 trip to China that inspired content for Virtua Fighter 2 and led to the creation of Virtua Fighter RPG / Shenmue.
In this part, Yu spends time in Beijing and then travels to Shaolin Temple.
"I believe the reason Yu took so many close-up photos is because he wanted to use them a source of textures. He not only took photos, but also did things like kicking the ground and walls, and stroking them to check how they felt to the touch. "
