28 Pieces of WTF Art from Japan

Japan is know for its weirdness, just as America is known for its fat couch-potatoes. Still, we can’t help our curiosity about the other side. Here are some really weird examples of Japanese artworks that will most likely make you say WTF at the same time, as you’re sending it to your friend by saying: “Dude, you must check this out!” because that’s how WTF stuff works – you’re shocked or even groused by something and at the same time you want to show it to everyone.

1. Come on, be a man! Stick it in there!

Nothing says Japan as nasty combination of human being and some dangerous monster. To make this image complete, we need to add some octopus with tentacles that look like penises and a bunch of school girls, naturally.

2. Pigeon Dating Game

A man in love with his pigeon, what can be more normal than that?

3. Stuffed Picachu Rats

Generally, taxidermy makes me uncomfortable. Just knowing that those are stuffed dead bodies of animals that people keep in their houses, or anywhere else as trophies, is really creepy. But, for Japanese people, taxidermy alone wasn’t weird enough, so they decided to paint these poor rats as Picachu so it would scream Japan more obviously.

4. Scene from Some Video Clip

Believe it or not, this is a picture taken from an actual video clip. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to find the video on the YouTube. If anyone has some information about this video, please share with us!

5. So Inappropriate!

6. And This One, Too…

7. This one, actually, looks pretty cool!

<

This school bus, actually, looks pretty cool. But, the only problem with school buses in Japan is, that my first association is horny school girls and inappropriate relationships they have with their aging teachers, or with that octopus with penis tentacles that I mentioned above.

8. Heavy Flow?

9. All Sea Food Restaurants Should Do This

10. Carving Banana

There is some guy that does this thing with bananas. He makes different small sculptures in bananas, most of which resemble some sort of alien invaders, monsters and other usual Japan stuff.

11. The Japan World Cup

Because regular world cup was boring, Japan added some break dancing and riding giraffes. It’s much more colorful this way, right?

12. Cat with two tails strikes again

This is an illustration from some Japanese book featuring a moment of attack, when this weird looking cat-rat with two tails bites some man’s neck. I’m guessing, it’s a children’s book.

13. Just some squirrels storing nuts for the winter

This reminds me of that South Park episode when Stan’s dad is getting testicular cancer on purpose so he could have some medical marijuana.

14. Outside of the Box Advertising

15. Sexy Dentist

16. Emo Japanese Girl

Apparently, you can go to the other continent, but there is no escape from the emos! They are everywhere… I’m only hoping that this  moronic scarification was her idea, because judging by the tears in her eyes, I could easily jump to a conclusion that she’s being tortured and mutilated against her will.

17. So Much Going on in This Pic

It seems to me like the guy with ridiculously cut blue jump suit in the left can’t figure out why the guy on the right is crying semen tears.

18. Courting Pigeon

You’re a student at a pigeon high school. And, naturally, your job is to seduce a pigeon. How are you going to do this? Any pigeon courting skills? This game will help you strengthen those skills.

19. Japanese Pizza

When having a global brand, the main thing is to make those small subtle changes for each market. For example, Japanese customers will with their pizza get a complementary anime drawing of a girl in a rather humiliating dog position, so you could feed her.

20. Pinocchio is Exaggerating Again!

21. Picachu Airplane

22. Superman’s Real Weakness

Japanese Superman is teaching us we shouldn’t litter, because it makes his super powers disappear.

23. Another Pinocchio

In this one, even the police officer realizes how terrible this cartoon is.

24. Jesus as an Umbrella Salesman

25. Red Ridding Hood

Actually, I always imagined the ending scene of Red Riding Hood like this. I’m glad someone finally made a drawing so the less imaginative people could picture it as well.

26. A Couple in Shrink Wrap

I’ll have my couple of musicians to go, thanks! I prefer to enjoy music in the comfort of my own home.

27. Kim Jong-il as Baseball Player

After his death in December 2011, nothing changed in the North Korea, but for quite some time, Kim Jong-il was inevitable on internet. Here we can see him as baseball player with launching Picachus behind him, that are for some strange reason shaped like penises. I have no idea how does this relate to Japan, or what was the point of this cartoon.

28. Hello Kitty Nails

Another brand from Japan. It looks ridiculous and is absolutely unpractical.
