If this is directed at what I said:
Exactly, I would consider bullfighting culture because it's unique to / originated in Spain, and Matadors still wear the costumes they have been throughout the ages.
But what I'm saying is, I don't see how whaling is cultural to Japan. It's not unique, nor does it reflect traditions throughout the ages. It's just get on a boat, shoot some whales, process them and sell them.
