This is a map of a Japanese neighborhood. All the names of each family can be found on this map. It made me think of
Bestor and how he used pictures like this to study the history of a Japanese neighborhood. I also find it interesting that in America, to see a city layout like this you would have to go to city hall or some sort of government office. But this was right in the middle of the neighborhood. I guess it would help
alot because Japanese neighborhoods are very confusing to navigate and this map can tell you exactly where your friend's house might be.
This is a picture of some candy. Notice the
sambo-
esque mascot. I find caricatures like this all over Japan. Japan even has a show wear Japanese dress up as people from other countries, but what they dress up as are stereotypes. It is a comedy show that laughs at everything not Japanese. Foreigners are pretty much fair game to make fun of because their aren't any to speak up against it. It's a bit unfair and reminds me of Japan's view of racial superiority during WWII. To me this image is very offensive, and I see lights of black characters portrayed this way. It makes me a little sad.
