I think science or industry also parts of tradition.

There is no borderline because the concept of culture or tradition is not based on rationality. Therefore it is not a valid argument in a rational discussion. I expected better from a modern country like Japan.

Because US gov. force inuit to do "Traditional Whaling".
If they can use advanced equipment they can hunt Minke whale instead of Bowhead.
Selfish excuse of USA is breaking eco-system.
