This article takes the 1964 Japanese film Black sun, directed by Koreyhosi Kurahara in 1964, as its starting point and uses the concept of Arts-Based Research as the main methodological tool. The work provides a series of useful elements for the understanding of some transformations verified in the post-World War II Japanese society, such as the appearance of a youth in permanent revolt with social norms, consumption and mass culture, the relationship of the japanese society with exogenous figures and also symbolic and material changes in urban morphology during the globalization process. At the same time, Black sun also focuses on themes such as structural racism, aimed at Afro-descendant communities, and the stereotyping of their figure through mass culture.
