I'm all for countries breaking down their borders and losing their all so special cultures. We all can learn something from other cultures including Japan. I actually look forward to the day where borders are meaningless. Where we are just people of the world rather than Japanese, Australians, Americans, etc. Maybe a bit pie in the sky stuff but I don't believe much good has ever come of national boundaries and selfish national interests except a whole lot of wars.
