Historically Accurate Monkey King

This is a design piece centered around the concept of a faithful representation of the Sun Wukong from The Journey to The West novel, free from idealization and contemporary references, but instead is based on descriptive passages in the book and the era the book was written in.

I did extensive research on the subject, made notes, read the book and got help from the author of journeytothewestresearch.

I also documented my research with a blog!
