I hate modern Japanese culture, past was pretty good with all the Samurai. I'm like 15% Japanese too, so I can't say I hate it a ton but I still don't like it.
Some parts of modern Japanese culture are quite captivating and interesting, some parts ofc are awfull but in general the whole culture stands on a whole another set of values and the way of thinking is quite different to European culture where I belong to. It's not that I'd like to be Japanese, I appreciate the aspects I consider good and valuable, same with my culture. For example the religion thing, never got into Christianity and basically despise it, but some budist and shinto believes when it comes to religion I find more reasonable, the whole whorshiping the nature, karma etc... same with arts, my culture in perticular (my coutry's) does not appeal to me, the music, painitngs etc. I find traditional japanese culture and the stories behind it way more deep and beaufitul all around so that's why I chose to get Japanese style tattoos, nothing to do with jakuza all to do with art. I'm just happy I was lucky enough to stumble upon this culture and this way of living and thinking, mind you I'm interested in whole array of different cultures and views.
