PINK YELLOW

PINK YELLOW

Directed By Marina Inoue

USA | Documentary | 13 min

This film is an exploration into the fetishization of Japanese women and the inextricable power relations between culture, gender, and race. The director points a camera to a number of Japanese women in New York as well as the people who love Japanese pop culture, those who are extremely obsessed with Japanese culture (“weebs”). 

Following Rio Hashimoto, a young Japanese lacquerware artist, the film shows the impact  of the Japanese pop culture Western males fantasize about, and the real Japanese women’s experience in New York.
