Recently we came across this excellent video titled Japan – The Strange Country. Kenichi Tanaka, a 23-year old graphic designer from Nagoya, created this motion piece as his final thesis project.
The 11-minute tragicomic animation features some interesting facts and stats about Japan while pointing out certain social problems that the creator thinks need to have attention drawn to them. Tanaka says he created this video from a foreigner’s viewpoint, rather than Japanese point of view.
