ELSEWHERE JP: A Little Out of Place
A multilingual editorial collection about small moments when Japanese habits meet unfamiliar settings abroad.
Field notes
The project uses brief observational scenes rather than explanatory essays: a traveler waits for a train door to open, a shopper returns vegetables to the scales, or a coworker repeats a date until it lands on one calendar square. The homepage separates material into Travel and Workplace, with at least twelve titled notes and individual “Take a look” links. Language navigation covers English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean, giving the small cross-cultural encounters a deliberately broad reading surface.
