Tradition is only worth saving if it has a function or can be justified rationally.
I don't quite understand the idea of holding on to tradition for the sake of tradition.
Circumcision for example.
Why someone would cut the foreskin off of the penis is beyond me. (Apparently God doesn't allow circumcised penises into heaven.
)
I agree with cranks.
I think Japan does well at keeping the traditions that work while getting rid of the ones that are useless.
