Now Japan 2014 is a festival in Lithuania focused on Japanese music, visual arts, kitchen, teather and other things related with cultural, aesthetic and traditional aspects of life in Japan. For its current edition illustrator Karolis Strautniekas made a fresh visual interpretation of quite typical symbols associated with Japan. Her minimal, eye-catching illustrations were used for graphic elements related with this event. In collaboration with Other Peter (animation & direction) and with Sonar (sound) she also created a motion picture, while Džiugas Valančauskas was responsible for the graphic design.

You can see the final animation here. What do you think about this vision of Japanese culture?
