There is a lot of individual creativity in Japan. How much you care for the interest of group (family/company/nation) is different from how much expressiveness there is at a personal level. The fomer being higher doesn't mean the latter is low. Also, for a group to be resilent, there actually needs to be a lot of creativity at in its members as otherwise it will collapse when it meets challenges.

The fomer being higher doesn't mean the latter is low. Could you elaborate on this some more? It was my understanding people were discouraged from even dressing different, for example.

  There is a lot of individual creative energy in Japan, both in art and engineering. A great deal of care is taken to ensure the quality of products.
