perhaps I should have been more clear on that point, thanks

well commercialization means something is used for profit,
it generally infers that it's at the expense of quality

when used in context with a country I presume for it to infer that it's at the expense of culture, or more popularly "it's roots"

in Japan's case, as it got more and more wealthy, it's people got less interested in it's traditions and cultures

The context I took ryuurui's quote from was how young people may not understand the virtue of calligraphy in the same way they might have in the past, presumably due to said commercialization
