“IS JAPAN COOL? DOU (The Tangible Manner)”, an ANA overseas promotion campaign designed and produced by ENJIN TOKYO, has taken the Bronze Pencil award for the Interactive Craft category at One Show 2018, one of the world’s three largest advertising awards shows. The campaign was previously named a jury-recommended work at the Japan Media Arts Festival.

DOU presents Japanese traditional martial arts and performing arts that have been passed down and refined from person-to-person over a very long time. A project for overseas audiences, this project from ANA seeks to transmit intangible cultural assets such as Japan’s spirit, actions, forms, and techniques to new generations in a tangible manner through the use of data visualization. Nine types of arts (dou) and their respective masters were selected from the martial arts and performing/fine arts that represent Japan. The challenge was to interactively data visualize their movements using technologies such as 4D View.
