Japan, the strange country

This video is 24 year-old Kenichi’s thesis graduation project. Native from Nagoya, he moved to Tokyo last year to work as a full-time graphic designer.

What he says about his video Japan, the Strange Country :

This is my final thesis project. I created info-graphic, motion piece. My objective is to make Japanese people to think about that everything happening here in Japan, isn’t that normal. So I created this video from foreigner’s point of view, rather than Japanese people’s point of view.
By the way, please don’t call me racist, because I am one of short, small eyes Japanese.
