> I think people talk about Japanese websites because of the difference between the design of their websites in general and the design of other stuff in their culture.

I've heard the opposite. Think of all the LED and neon lights and the HUGE amount of advertisements in, say, Tokyo. It looks kinda like their websites imo.

They are looking for an explanation... and that would explain the average website, but the question still exists when you have a culture that produces a Toyo Ito, what would their best websites look like?

For a lot of people, there isn't a good enough answer yet and that is why the question gets asked over and over again.

Neon used to be a thing in western cities as well up to the 70s or 80s. Then the west turned towards minimalism but asia didn't follow.
