I mean, look around - how many people on this board want to visit or live in Japan for exactly those reasons? You can`t blame them for trying to appeal to people with what is popular about Japan in the west...
It's a very narrow group of people though. And the people who watch anime don't seem to need convincing that Japan is a place rich in culture.

I remember some really talented violinists came to New Zealand once... so did a Taiko drummer performance crew etc. This is the kind of thing that will make a bigger and longer lasting impact in my opinion.
