Their customs were formalized in the nineteenth century just as Europe became obsessed with being scared of germs, and there are even decadentist-like works of art from the Japan of that era. And they've been as fond as fairy tales as anyone. Whereas today, it seems Japan has fallen for every vice of romanticist Europe.
This suggests ultra-nationalism will be a temptation for them, but parallels aside, Asia is not Europe.
