Why is Japan so poor culturally?

It's like somebody took a bunch of Chinese customs, fashion, musical instruments, and architecture threw away 90% of it, then magnified a few specific areas of them so they appear more important, then called it "Japanese".
Their music is unpleasant, it's like their instruments aren't tuned properly, if at all, I'd even go as far as to say they are completely tone deaf. But here, judge for yourself:

1/10 not even knowing history. Hungary is over a 1000 years old, Romania is not even 200 years old. The former was part of the great Austrian-Hungarian empire, the latter was some noname county that didn't even ping on the world history radar.

The more you know.

That's what happens when you are very isolated. The Japanese purposefully isolated themselves.

For a more extreme example, look how utterly primitive the native Americans and especially the Australian aboriginals were compared to the European invaders

>Hungary is over a 1000 years old, Romania is not even 200 years old
As an united cunt yes,but the two principalities both started officially in the 1300s and the first union of the 3 principalities was in the year of our lord 1600. The same could be said for Italy Germany and other states that officially united in the 1800s but that doesn't make them 200 years old.
>The former was part of the great Austrian-Hungarian empire, the latter was some noname county that didn't even ping on the world history radar.
By that you mean vassal state to the Habsburg,at least we fought ours . Wearing the cuck stamp with pride I see,

Didn't they sacrifice - oops I mean murdered cold blooded - their own people and children on a daily basis to their pagan gods? That's quite civilized indeed.

>...there is a cultural wealth to every people.
Some yes. But it's apparent that not all cultures are equal. There is no culture that is a match for European, except probably the Chinese.
>>
>>52885736
There is no such thing as a singular European culture. The only exceptional cultures were the Romans, Greeks and Minoans; everyone else just hoped on what they did.

If the beautiful snow-capped mountains peeking through forests of autumn leaves and cute tight-ass little streets packed with bicycles and itty-bitty kei cars don't get you hard then you have problems. I've been to China and Japan and it's not even close to being a contest. China's just fucking depressing.

This is our culture. We are good at leaning other countries technologies/culture and developed them into our own culture.
For example, anime was originally created by Americans but we imported and ameliorate it and now that we are most famous for anime

So did the Europeans, and they tortured them to death, unlike the Aztecs and the Mayans, so they were quite less civilized; they only had a technological advantage they didn't invent.

Japan became rich. But, the Japanese tends not to like showy culture basically. In addition, we tend not to like the bright color either basically. We tend to make a fool of people living an extremely showy life in Japan. It is because I feel awkward for a Japanese. And the photograph is Kinkaku-ji Temple. The temple is showy for a Japanese.
Of course it is one of the Japanese culture, too. And it get a lot of looks. But the Japanese does not want to stay all the time there.
Therefore Ginkaku-ji Temple is more popular for the Japanese. But, I think you may feel it just plain. But, we feel comfort for such buildings. I think that probably this is the sense that only Japanese understand. In addition, the Japanese hears various music now, but we choose the music by a place. We tend to play old music in such buildings. The Japanese will feel it unpleasantly if somebody drained showy music in such buildings. The music that you feel unpleasantly make Japanese comfortable by a place. Do you want to hear rap music and Eurobeat music in a church?

Low tier bait. Sure a lot of it is based on Chinese stuff, but they give their own Japanese spin on pretty much all of it. They also have some pretty interesting and unique prehistoric stuff.
That's like complaining that Budapest is for the most part a copy of Vienna and Prague.

If you want to really see a culturally bankrupt country though, look no further than South Korea.
