A fake book cover designed by Arni Kristjansson entitled ‘Why do Japanese people stare at foreigners?‘ and designed to be used by non-Japanese residents living in Japan when they feel they’re drawing too much attention.

“The idea is simple, print out this cover and wrap it around a book in Japanese. Then, as soon as you get stared at on the train or in a public place (to the point where it becomes uncomfortable) take out the book and pretend to start reading it while giving the starer ample view of the cover. The starer is then made aware of the situation in the most Japanese of ways, through non-confrontation.”
