Think also about the numerous Japanese women (and asian) that go through plastic surgery to become more western looking. You know...bigger breast, more rounded eyes, sharper noise, etc. Some would pass as western women if one doesnt pay close attention. This people didnt get a change through a painful surgery just to get ostracized in their own society.

I am not looking at traditional Japan but to that Japan that is changing and up to a point is confused. Re-inventing Japan or discovering new identity of Japan to accomodate better or function more efficiently in the international community. Foreigners will be more and more relevant in Japan. This would be another complicated subject and out of my question.
