The view from there
Highway infrastructure, lined with re-imagined road signage, emerges from the countryside, fractures and twists between buildings as it proceeds to the city.
This view, as we advance from the rural to the urban, explores Japanese scenery in its entirety.
The various ideas that flow from moving through this stimulating and distinct environment influence the unique designs of Japanese cars.
