I am a firm believer that individuals can have historic impacts on their society. I have seen many of my contributions become important and significant. I’ve also seen many more fail and some lead to harm.
Milieu matters. This issue comes up because I was impressed with the influence of Japanese design in Israel (from retail shops to public graphics) and I met one of the key graphic designers who brought this style from 
Tokyo where he had worked for 11 years.
Can Israeli design go to Japan?
I met a young woman in San Francisco, a few weeks ago, who is the editor of one of the Japanese young girls' magazines. I asked if she knew about the sexy Israeli bridal style? “No.” So I sent her some photos and she is going to use them in the next issue of her magazine.
Will my tiny act result in a new style in Japanese bridal dresses? Depends on the milieu. The Japanese view American wedding paraphernalia as a form of high style. Will "sexy" fit in with “high style” in Japan. Tune in next year for a report. (Click to enlarge photos.)
