Gajin Fujita masterfully plays with the codes of American popular culture and interweaves them with pictorial elements of the diverse ethnic cultures in a globalised world. Logos of multinational companies are fused with motifs reminescent of the woodcuts and ukiyo-e paintings of the Edo period. Gajin Fujita also emphasises the tension between tradition and the present by using gold leaf for the background, as was used for precious paintings from the Orient to the Occident.
