Toilets and sake, from China, really?? *blink blink*

You're right, the daughter culture thing is not surprising, though modern Japanese culture is supposedly quite distinct from Chinese culture. I think it's the lack (in Western society) of distinction between the two that gets Japanese (and Chinese, I'm sure) people's knickers in a twist.

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
