West vs East
February 09,2005
“Right at the tip, you have in strict correspondence to each other France on the one side and China on the other. They have many profound resemblances—an obsession with food, with glory, ethnocentricity, a feeling that they are a light unto other nations, an intense hypochondria.And they’ve got little islands offshore which tend to be very formal and concerned with class and language, which are England and Japan—that’s why ‘My Fair Lady’ was such a success immediately in Tokyo, they understood it immediately. And then a little to the north of these you have a country which has a lot of the traits of England and Japan, but which tends to be wilder, a lot more primitive, a lot more poetic and very heavy when it comes to drinking, and that’s Ireland and Korea.”
Henry Steiner (graphic designer)
