We can supervise
your use of Japanese language/culture in your designs
Graphic designs with correct Japanese
Japanese, and kanji in particular, is complex and diverse. Even Japanese people have to take care to avoid using it wrong sometimes. Seriously. While translation software has improved in recent years, it’s still very risky to entrust the use of Japanese in your designs to it entirely. Our Japanese designers will check your designs to make sure they use correct Japanese. You can also request that we only check the Japanese parts of your designs.
Additionally, we can also provide suggestions on how to improve the design with the correct use of Japanese. Our team of experienced designers understands the nuances of the language and can ensure that your message is accurately conveyed through the design. Whether you need help with a logo, packaging design, or advertising materials, we can help you create a visually appealing design with correct Japanese usage.
We’ll check the use of Japanese culture/religions in your designs
To give an example, it’s never desirable to find out that you used a religious symbol in your design in an insensitive manner. Mistaking China’s or Indonesia’s or another nearby Asian country’s culture for Japan’s is another common mistake we find. We will check your design from a cultural/religious perspective to make sure it’s appropriate.
This includes checking for any potential cultural appropriation or misappropriation issues. We understand that Japanese culture has become popular and trendy around the world, but it’s important to use it respectfully and accurately. Our team of Japanese designers will review your designs and advise you on any changes that should be made to ensure that they are culturally appropriate and respectful.
