>>596464780% of japanese culture is just them copying chinks out of an inferiority complex
their first work of literature was written in chinese and written explicitly to show them they’re not cultureless savages and hat they’re totally descended from gods and not at all filthy backwards niggers
their architecture and government structure was copied wholesale from chinks with surgical editing where it conflicted with muh god emperor
for centuries they relied on chinks bringing them shit because they had neither the ability to produce or harness them themselves nor the capacity to cross to china on their own
at one point they lite based their economy around chinese currency because they couldn’t mint their own worth shit and every attempt to replace the chinese currency resulted in their own coins being undervalued against the chinese coins in circulation so they had to rob the chinks to have a currency to trade with
when that couldn’t be sustained they reverted to bartering with rice
they had to get koreans to design their field irrigation systems
they got swindled out of their gold because despite knowing they had to import bronze because they couldn’t mine it in japan, and understanding the concept of trade and relative value, they thought silver was more valuable than gold because they had more gold than silver
the only reason they were a threat in ww2 was because they realized they were backwards niggers again and copied the best parts of developed militaries
the american occupation was literally the best thing to ever happen to them because the yen being tied to the dollar made them competitive
it’s also why their economy crashed when the yen got cut loose
the entirety of japanese history can summed down to a vastly more advanced civilization discovering them, finding them interesting and exotic and sharing their technology with them while the japs were rubbing their hands and writing fanfiction about how superior they are to the barbarians teaching them
