Foreigners, especially journalists, do this in every article about Japan. Easy template:

____ the Japanese art of ____.

For example:

O-shiri-o-kaku the Japanese art of ass scratching.

They do it with thumb or something.

I saw a coffee ad yesterday waxing poetic about the calmness and ancient history of traditional Japanese kissaten and my eyes just about rolled out of my head. It's totally unlike an American coffeehouse, you see, because they use dark roasts.
