Buraot: Yes, a lot of Japanese culture has been lost for better or for worse. As with many places, sometimes western influences do actually make a place more peaceful and better off, but nonetheless, it’s sad to see old ways die.

i was just watching a Japanese documentary on history channel yesterday, regarding Japan’s samurai culture and how at the onset of the 21st century they seem not to get a hold of their cultural identity that was somehow lost, due to modern and western affluences.
