1. 51 Japanese Characters

Peter Machat writes:

I am a Student of Visual Communication Design at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany and I would like to introduce you to the 51 Japanese Characters project, which I developed during my stay as an exchange Student at the Nagoya Zokei University in Japan … Japanese society is full of special expressions for certain people, characters and Japanese cultural phenomena. When such an expression is used, a member of Japanese society instantly knows what kind of person, character or cultural phenomenon is meant. As Being a foreigner, a Gaijin in Japan, I tried to lift the curtain and shed some light on the areas of Japanese society that are often perceived as being mysterious and closed. I wanted to know the exact qualities of an Obatarian, a Narikin, an Otaku, a Bosozoku or an Ikeike Onna.
