Kenichi Tanaka made this thesis piece to show his countrymen that things that take place in Japan, ‘isn’t that normal’ to westerners. So the tale was told from a foreigner’s viewpoint rather than a Japanese’s, but he begs ‘please don’t call me racist, because I am one of the short, small eyes Japanese ;P’. This is a smart and insightful piece because of the cultural self-awareness of its maker. Definitely a significant contribution to the world of visual essays. The original Japanese version can be seen here on Vimeo. As infographic animation goes, this is up there for simplicity, humor and captivation of interest. There is certainly a lot missing from my experience but in fairness, a full insight would have a running time of hours not minutes.
Great work.
Great work.
