A unique way of looking at, and experiencing the world directly (despite otherwise being a parochial culture) rather than in a mediated way through other cultures There seems to be a Japanese way of thinking about the whole world that is not just a borrowed/inherited foreign way

You are using the term “consciousness” in a culturalistic context, less in the traditional sense of the word.
