The artistic nature of the culture and its people. I admire the visual qualities of their work as well as their general mental attitude in terms of respect and honor. Of course, much of this respect and honor is probably obselete, developed into more of a habit than an actual appreciation thereof, but it's there nonetheless.
I'm particularly interested in the history of the struggle during the feudal era. More specifically, the common people's way of life and how they survived; they're fortitude and method of thought. With this, naturally comes an admiration for the culture and most things relating outward from there.
Would I live in Japan? It's a broad question. It all depends.
