What Snubbing Reveals, Friendship Restores: Norway and Japan (II of II)
Both of these controversial Norwegian ad campaigns struggle with the symbols of nationhood. The misappropriation of the Japanese flag in the image of a sanitary napkin and the misuse of Norwegian lefse by a Japanese traveler are images in dialogue with one another over the cross-cultural negotiation of meaning. Both convey the impression of trying to understand and honor the other culture – in the first case by paying tribute to the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, and in the second by demonstrating a desire to learn about the culinary habits of the Norwegian. Both are examples of the struggle with ambiguous meanings and the foreign familiarity of the other; sharing so much in common but existing worlds apart.

What Snubbing Reveals, Friendship Restores: Norway and Japan (I of II)
Nations, like people, negotiate their relationships through a series of minor trials; boundaries are set and adapted, intentions are analyzed, and standards of expectation put to the test. Friendships between nations and people are tested, not on the battlefield or industrial drives, but on the social give-and-take between two invested parties. This story is concerned with the friendship between Norway and Japan and how that friendship was navigated through two social blunders in national symbolism: the first, a few misguided ad campaigns in Norway and the second, a missed appointment in Japan.
