Japanese follow rules and strictures of their society. Good manners and behaviour are important in their society.
More a conformist culture, it seems.
There are positives and negatives to this.
Aussies are more individulastic. I personally, quite like this character trait.
Many blessings to the Japanese. They have shown kindness and generosity to other countires in their times of need. Recently, helping out in the NZ earthquake.
