  when the Japanese in Japan will not accept as a "Japanese" someone who is not schooled in Japan.. that is, even when the Japanese child goes to a Japanese school outside of Japan (even if all the teachers in there are Japanese)
  
  the child will be ostracised when they go back to Japan...
  
  not sure if it is like that now.. but it was like that less than 10 years ago
  
  

  *wonders to myself why the North East Asians are that closeted and feudal*

  sometimes i wonder.. do some traditions deserve to be preserved?
  
  looking at the Japanese elaborate rituals, seems like they're not enjoyed..
  
  ahh.. watching the thing now.. "there is no room for artistic innovation" everything is geared towards the "perfection of rigid methods handed down"
  
  hmmm.. this is "art" ?
