I’ve noticed many Japanese homes and apartments are either museum perfect, or borderline hoarder chaos. I’d guess one reason for the focus on order and cleanliness is thats its actually kind of hard to maintain with so little space and so much packaging, plastic and consumer junk around so there are many bad counterexamples. In America you can be kind of lazy without your living space becoming unvisitable.
