This is a good example of Japanese culture. Even though this particular poster is very simplistic with its style and its design, you can still see the Japanese essence behind it as it looks very similar to the Japanese flag. The brush to create the reflection in the water of the sun is a great way of showing how a lot of Japanese art and text is created using brushes and paint.

This piece shows off a lot of the Jamaican style; The red, green and yellow colours, vibrant visuals, styled typography. All you have to do is look at this piece and you now it is of Jamaican culture, if its not noticeable enough with the Jamaican flag on his jacket he also has the ‘Reggae Music’ badge on his hat, his dress sense is in the stereotypical style of a Jamaican/Rastafarian.
