With a title like Japan, and the decorative reference to Rimpa, it suggests a self-reflection or representation of the Japanese aesthetic tradition in a modern graphic design context. Possibly exploring what “Japan” means visually, not just nationally but aesthetically.
The work participates in the Japanese poster / graphic design culture of the 1980s, where poster art was more than advertising. It was about design as cultural expression. Japan is part of that wave.
