    More seriously; mentions of Zen, bushido, samurai etc. in coverage of modern Japan are flashing red lights for poorly researched work.

        I would add to that list Studio Ghibli in almost any article not about Studio Ghibli.

        I remember my coworkers joking how Americans thought there were samurai in the streets. Definitely larger conversation about Orientalism.

        It's the Japan equivalent of starting an article about comics with "Comics aren't for kids anymore!"

        I blame Alan Watts for the American misunderstanding of Zen, and Buddhism in general.

        It's worth reading, but to learn about what Americans thought/think about Japan than to learn about Japan itself

        Most programming from national broadcasters tends to be diabolical. Cliches and stereotypes are easy to bash together...
