I consider those as branches of pop culture, which is a branch of culture itself.
When I think of Japanese culture, I think of its history, architecture, the arts and its cuisine.
I just have a basic knowledge of history and I can see how geography has effected its development. I read about it a little at a time and gain a little perspective.
I can see the architecture and its beauty when I'm photographing it, but I don't know much about it.
I just have a bit more than a passing interest in Japanese culture and I learn a bit when I'm curious about something.
