Why does everything related to Japan has to be framed as exotic, ancient and mystical ? I've got a forest of beech trees behind the house with trees that have been shaped into poles for five or six hundred years. We don't call it the 600-year old French technique of growing sticks.
The Japanese aren't some Elves out of The Lord of the Rings with wisdom forgotten by the mortal races of the Earth and a bone-deep sense of aesthetics. They're just people.
