Japan - The Strange Country

Here this a final year project of 23 year old graphic designer Kenichi, based in Nagoya. This video, full with informations graphics, is representing the country of Japan: its culture, history and inhabitants. Apparently, his motivation in creating the piece was to show a Japanese audience how strange they are to foreigners.
I will not argue about how correct this information is of is it more disturbing than informative. I've never been in Japan, I can not know. But all that I can say is that the illustrations & animation ideas are very good and I've enjoyed wathing it.

p.s. the creator has gotten annoyed with the attention and being called a racist, and has purged the web of the English version.
