ABSTRACT

This article investigates the role of Japan in Korean consumption of Nordic design. In spite of the development of greater access to wide information and global markets, the popular trends in Korea have been mediated by Japan. The cultural power of Japan comes from otaku subculture. Japanese influence can be discussed by two sides. One is the images or symbols composing the Nordic style in Korea. The other is the way how to consume the Nordic design. Japanese neopop images combined with the Nordic design. Japanese ‘slow movie’ has combined American Kinfolk style with Nordic style. ‘Database consumption’ from otaku subcultre conceptualized by Azma Hiroki can be applied to Korean consumption of Nordic design.
