I agree.
I’m from the U.S. and I personally do think I have an accurate image of Japan. But, I go to Japan almost every summer, so that’s why. If I just went off of off what the majority of Americans think that go to my school, I would definitely be very off.
Not at all until I lived in Tokyo. I highly recommend any haafu who is able to live in Japan for at least a year. We could live there 20 years and still not understand it all….like moi. 😀
No. Japan is way too stereotyped as an exotic Other. There was a brief series television programmes -documentaries, Japanese films – many years ago in Channel 4 (UK). It was severe and seized upon only the things that would sustain the stereotypical image of Japan/ese for Western consumption (i.e the market/audience).
The different incarnations of sushi around the world should have its own hafu portrait up here!
I moved to Japan in 2015, the reality of ‘Japan’ I longed for is not as I expected. Same as Mr Peyton Miyazaki, I can see much of social, families, and other problems arise together along with days I spend here. And those problems are barely seen by people who doesn’t live in Japan. It’s far than accurate.
The longer I’ve been living here as an adult, the more hidden social problems I see arise to the surface everyday…
My mother is Issei, and my Japanese grandfather and aunt lived with us for most of my childhood so I think I have a decent image of Japan though maybe dated…
