- jkyle 11y agoThe paper on cultural time perceptions I found, which I'll have to dig up again, attributed the difference to a deep cultural value placed on timeliness in Japanese society. e.g. the value predated the specific train result. edit Though I've read papers that also trace a shortening of the window of timeliness to the appearance of public clocks. Like Big Ben.
