Their innovations and customs may seem strange to us, but this vibrant and proud nation can certainly show the nations of the world what invention, imagination, respect and family mean.
V the western world they are Japanese synonymous with inventions, as they are considered very imaginative, maybe even silly people who almost every transfer the idea to the real world. Futuristic toilets, cars, food, drink, homes... the list is very long and will go on according to the trends, probably also increased.
