Yet, resilience is built into the culture. The Japanese entertainment industry has repeatedly shown an ability to absorb external influence (from 1950s American rock to 2020s K-Pop choreography) and metabolize it into something distinctively Japanese.

This creates a veneer of sanitized perfection but also a culture of silence and suppression. Yet, resilience is built into the culture
