After WWII, America was so afraid of Comunism and wanted to westernize everyone as much as possible. Japan, who had surrendered to us had taken this to heart and became very westernized (as you see all around you), perhaps more so than any country that wasn't already. My girlfriend's grandmother watched the nuclear bomb fall out of the sky from a cave outside of Nagasaki. Then she married an American soldier. This attitude was evident as they progressed through the 70s-90s and it shows. Assimilation has been part of Japan. Look at their language, its taken from Chinese. So, the paper thing is a smally symptom of that. xheavenxsentx - the south beach diocese This idolization of America is a direct result of WWII or more specifically post-WWII.
