The project
Project
The almost absolute isolation in which Japan enclosed itself during all of the Tokugawa era, until the second half of the nineteenth century, has given this nation a very strong and characteristic cultural identity.
Japan is and remains nowadays a mostly unknown region, distant and unfairly considered expensive, inhabited by one of the most extravagant and bizarre people of the planet.
In truth, also thanks to their strong sense of belonging and sacrifice which has allowed them to remain united during its crises, it is to this strange country that we owe many of the small and large comforts which surround us
Several are the fields in which Japanese industry operates at the highest levels. Regarding technology you only need to mention Sony; multinational companies like Mitsubishi or Yamaha are leaders in fields which range from microelectronics to music, from the automotive industry to aerospace engineering.
Since the seventies Japan is the most prolific exporter of animated series and of the vast and extremely fascinating world which gravitates around them
With its difficult balance between tradition and innovation, Japan is today one of the most desired tourist venues, against which stands the high investment needed to be reached.
Where to search for the reason of this interest, which goes beyond culture reaching to art, animation, technology, sport, and so on?
Those generations of boys and girls, born between the seventies and eighties and who have grown up in that period when Japan was imposing itself on the rest of the world should be asked such a question, or maybe those who, from without the phenomenon, watch with a diffident eye and a bit of mockery those who today nurture such a passion.
We won’t ask either. We will search for the solution of this enigma in loco, in Japan, where il all started
We will discover through the daily experiences of young boys and girls, what of this world, for most only imagined, exists in reality.
