This article explores the expansion of advertisements by Japanese consumer goods brands in Korea during the Japanese colonial period (1910–1945), focusing on the 1920s and early 1930s. It adopts the “colonial modernity” approach to examine Japanese advertising in Korea as an interface between Japanese and Korean non-state actors. It also uses transnational design history to investigate, more empirically, how these actors, such as manufacturers, consumers, advertising agencies, retailers, newspaper companies, practitioners, and the colonial government, contributed to the expansion and change of Japanese advertisements. It studies the cases of three Japanese brands, Morinaga (confectionery), Lion (toothpaste), and Ajinomoto (artificial seasoning), analyzing their advertisements and examining written records from the companies’ archives, their histories, and contemporary publications. By doing so it uncovers the negotiations, challenges, and tensions among the various actors involved in the Japanese brands’ advertising in Korea. The article argues that colonial modernity around Japanese advertising design was formed between or across Korea and Japan, by both Koreans and Japanese, and that through this gradual process of interaction and adaptation Japanese “national brands” transformed themselves into “imperial brands.”

In 1972, designer Emilio Ambasz (b. 1943) organized the symposium “The Universitas Project” at MoMA in New York City. The issue at stake was how the field of design should tackle the possibly irresolvable societal, political, and ecological problems of post-industrial society. Ambasz proposed a new design approach, which he named design as a mode of thought, with the aim of building a new research-education institution for design that could tackle the wicked problems ahead. In order to articulate his proposal, Ambasz turned to the speculative realm: discursive design critique, metaphysical cybernetics, design fiction, and storytelling. By critically engaging with some of the participants’ conference presentations, the article first discusses how the concept of the environment was reconfigured by the emerging ecological catastrophe. Then the article discusses ideological responses to the Universitas Project to show how the seemingly different ideological positions between French so-called “radical left” and American “right-wing technocrats” were grounded in the same; all-encompassing uncertainty and a strive for open-endedness. Finally, the article analyses Ambasz’s design fiction writing and the speculative nature of the Universitas and thereby identifies the Universitas as a rare moment in the history of design in which design stopped engaging in the status quo and turned towards a speculative future for finding seeds for new beginnings. The article re-visits the Universitas in order to support a presentist argument: that speculation, discursive design critique, and storytelling might not be sufficient methods on their own to tackle the forthcoming accelerating wicked uncertainties that lie ahead.

Abstract Toward the end of the 1960s, the car industry in Japan was reaching its maturity, and it seemed increasingly certain that Japan’s future was firmly linked to cars. At the 16th and 17th Tokyo Motor Shows, in 1969 and 1970, an unprecedented number of show cars made by Japanese car manufacturers were introduced. At these shows, Toyota introduced a series of show cars, the EX-I, EX-II, EX-III, and EX-7, as well as the Commuter. The end of the 1960s was not just a turning point for the Japanese car industry but also for Japanese society as a whole. Through rapid (re)modernization, the country had attained economic wealth and power, but the consequences of modernization were becoming increasingly devastating. The anticipated and endorsed future was under revision when the news about pollution and political turmoil reached the nation’s media. Focusing on Toyota Motors, this article examines early Japanese “show cars” by approaching them from the viewpoint of the anticipated but complex and uncertain future at the turn of the 1960s to the 1970s. The purpose of this article is to analyze and summarize the future vision(s) of Toyota by applying a close analysis of the design objects.
