- Japan runs at 100V, the lowest and therefore safest voltage in the world. At least when it comes to electrocution. I suppose that it is also the reason why in Europe, where the standard voltage goes up to 240V, electrical safety is much more strict.
- As it is already mentioned, Japan is backwards in several domains and that may just be one of these. That's despite their technological advance in others.
- I have a feeling that there are more "perfect electricians" in Japan than anywhere else, because of their culture.
- Some 2-prong devices are perfectly safe because they are double insulated. This is also called Class II and the symbol for it is a square inside another square.
