I honestly believe that Japan is stuck in the 50's if you want to use that kind of imagery. It's like "Leave it to Beaver" here. Of course that's a gross over

I honestly believe that Japan is stuck in the 50's if you want to use that kind of imagery. It's like "Leave it to Beaver" here. Of course that's a gross over-simplification and there are a lot of things that contradict it, but it's the way I feel. When people think they want to retreat to a simpler kind of lifestyle where things are more cut and dried -- that's really like Japan. Of course I live in the country side which is very different than living in Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto.
