I would love to have that table in my living room. “Designed by Reddish they treated this interior project as if it was a living body, receiving its character from a unique tattoo printed on its surface. The wood texture acts as skin, becoming a platform for expressing a strong cultural and personal identity. The digital printing technology enables to easily treat each table individually, making them unique – just like people.” The tattoo is inspired by the Yakuza tattoo’s, which are a traditional organized crime syndicates in Japan.

This is a really cool ad for the Japanese Sapporo beer. It takes you through Japanese culture and history. Love it. via kreativtforum

Located in NYC, Tokyo Bar is covered with Japanese Manga illustrations and neon lights. The little restaurant has specialized in Japanese-style Western food. Kashiwa Sato created the branding, love it.

Love these ad’s for Shun and Italian-Asian restaurant. If you look closely the first ad incorporates the famous Italian Vespa and the background reveals a Milanese scenery which at first glance looks Asian.

In the second ad a  typical Milanese streetcar passes by whilst 3 Asian’s  play soccer in a classical colonnaded courtyard. created by Advertising Agency: Grey, Milan, Italy via eternallycool
