Why no looting in Japan?

They don't feel embarrased if naked public, at least until sometime in twentieth when they finally prohibited child porns. They still have public spas that allow both men and women in one tub.

I don't think your story represents Japanese people's personality regarding not looting. Read <The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture>.

"They still have public spas that allow both men and women in one tub."

What do you mean "allow"? Where I live (Europe) there are no restrictions in spas, and people can sit in tubs in any combinations they want...

He means that they have mixed bathing, so there's no men's and women's side of the onsen and so everyone goes into the same bath, whether they know each other or not.

There are other arrangements, too, though. In addition to simply splitting the onsen between a men's side and a women's side, they can also change from one to the other, so you can have mixed bathing later in the night, while being split the rest of the time.

... A book written sixty years ago with war prisoners interviews as material. A great book, but not really the state of art. (I'm afraid I've got no better advice.)
