Isn't it like this with most cultures. People from the outside lock on to something in a foreign culture, idolises it, promotes it as unique and special to an embarrassing level. It completely ignores that each Japanese person is just as unique as any American, Brit, Italian or Dane. That being said, there is something beautify about the clutter that comes out of Asian cities with their limited space and abundance of people, which allows odd specializations. Though you can fine some of the same beauty in small shops and business in a city like New York, where space is also at a premium.
