Well, they do, just only for ceremonial occasions!
Edit: I don't really see it as a 'fear of foreigners' as some people have said. You do have to realize that Japan is a far older country than most Western countries, yet has only really been exposed to western civilization for 75-100 years. Most Western civilizations have been openly trading for centuries.
It's not a 'fear', its more of a 'this is our boat, don't rock it' style of thinking.
