| Research Abstract |
This study explores the process of cultural production of migrant designers and artists in London, New York City, and Paris. The results show that in the art world, being part of a network of people from different professions often leads to corporative activities that result in profits. However, people in positions of power in particular professions are mostly whites, although Asian designers and artists have a stronger presence these days. In conclusion, networks and interactions, which are influenced by the racial hierarchy in the art world, lead to the construction of "Japaneseness."
