the pull for me to japanese culture is their culture of design. people like sou fujimoto and fumito ueda are very inspirational in their wholly unique approach to design in their respective fields. i feel design in japan is such because of their tendency to be fascinated by futuristic ideas but at the same time have a wealth of history and mythology to draw from. i am not into anime or other such things but have recently picked up my first manga: all you need is kill, solanin, and pink. but i would say i am interested in other cultures just as much. it typically revolves around design though. haha. and i a not even a designer in occupation.
