Globalization in Japan

In this day in age the world is connected through all mediums. Exporting, importing and sharing aspects that make a modern aesthetic to the world’s people.

People can use the same things the way people in other cultures do.

However in Japan the use of globalization is very inventive. It’s not how products and images are but it is how they are used. What I’ve notice here in Japan is that image and presentation is nearly everything and valued very importantly. No matter the status or lack of symbolic weight, if it is displayed in an appealing manner than that is how the image will be portrayed.

This is a poster of what many people can recognize as the Unites States new President..Obama. Globally Obama is recognized for change and progression but in this poster,

It’s just Pachinko.

An iconic figure, history changing and prestigious is used to lure in gambling pachinko customers.
