>>3962996No, the article doesn't mention about the rule I mentioned, it focuses the difference between what urban area grown up people think about rural area and the truth mainly. But the cartoon is true.
As for the rule, for example, as you see, we have so much cherry blossoms. And you can visit or drink under the trees. This is true, and city people don't think any problems about this. But this is the difference. Why is the area under the trees cleaned up? Because people of rural area cleaned it. You must accept these and you must clean up leaves from trees around your house. This is not ruled explicitly, but these manners prevails in Japan. Anyway, rules are not odd for people who had grown up in rural area, but city people don't admit these, because they are free rider of nature anytime.
However, I guess you have similar issues if NewYorkers move to live in mountain area.
