Japan’s culture, even among Asians, is very different. In fact, other Asians tend to feel a real culture shock after going to Japan, even though the country is still part of Asia.

Artist Evangeline Neo felt that personally after studying in Tokyo from 2010 to 2014. From how people behaved to how everything is set up, Evangeline felt the unique differences so much that she was compelled to draw a comics about it.

In doing so, she also says that she hopes to help increase awareness about the cultural differences in Japan and encourage people to adjust to the country’s culture, especially tourists and travelers who plan on visiting Japan anytime soon.

Her illustrations showcase most inner emotions, from secrecy and apathy to melancholia. As she says: “Their souls are too immature to be strong and blunt, and the momentary beauty attracts me as it is being lost as they grow up.”

Sakuma’s favorite style is “Nihonga” (Japanese-style painting). Artists of Nihonga use colored pigments made from powdered ores and seashells. The pigments are solidified with glue and colored hemp paper. Compared to tubed colors, it takes lots of time and effort to make Nihonga paintings. However, she enjoys the effort, treating the act of making art as sacred.

Sakuma’s artwork stands on an exquisite balance between perfection and inferiority. She says that she sometimes feels as if she is only working to please the girls on the canvas, so that she can keep them within it.

Nagasawa had to travel often for work and hated leaving his pets with a babysitter. Now, these cats travel more than most of us, experiencing every corner of Japan.

“I originally like traveling, and I used to leave the cats at a pet hotel or with a babysitter when I was out of home for a long period before,” Nagasawa shared. “Since Daikichi grew in the nature of Hokkaido, he was not used to people, and he caused an uproar or he injured the babysitter. So, I stopped leaving cats with the others, and I started taking them with me.”
