This is not unique of Japan and is true of most island nation cultures and even hill/mountain cultures as well.

Read: Wealth Power & Politics by Thomas Sowell.

Read: Guns, Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond.

The West just tends to fetishize Japan more than the others.

What are you referring to by "this"?

I didn't mean that it's unique to Japan, just that I frequently notice a refreshing -whimsy- among them that other more austere/cynical peoples might dismiss as childish etc. (e.g. the places I've usually lived in).

The Instagram links just happened to be something I was browsing at the time.
