Studio 360 in Japan
Studio 360 is big in Japan. Kurt Andersen hits the streets of Tokyo in search of cutting-edge art and design. Female art stars take on the schoolgirl stereotype; young rebels scream against an economic system that failed them. And Kurt goes undercover at the epicenter of all things nerdy to get a taste of otaku culture.
Studio 360 in Japan is supported, in part, by the Freeman Foundation and the United States-Japan Foundation.
