Is there a link between Japan's obsession for the seasons and high urban population ?

What's the difference between "none of your friends and no Japanese are supposed not to know the rest of the world and you skillfully use the term "Europe" or sometimes "Western countries" and each European nations?


This is my cat, and I bet most Japanese call it a brown cat, or some may call it as tiger-brown cat, "Chatora".
Autumn color everywhere in the world, but people taste it similarily/differently according to their cultures. Are Japanese ethnocentric without calling it as a orange or a cat as in the same color as European call?

It was a bit disappointed to read your post somewhere here, "no histories or cultures without records in writing", something like that. You're partly right, but...

Pipokun, I suppose you are addressing this post to me. However, I cannot understand what is the connection with this thread. I don't even understand why you come with the ethnocentric discussion here. This thread is about the causal effect between lot's of people living in big cities and the big tourism industry that has developed for hanami and koyo (or nature in general). I also like hanami and koyo. But I used to watch the various trees around my house when I grew up in the countryside.

Really?
I just thought your next post would be "all my friends believe only autumn color is only in Japan".

What ? This is completely off-topic. Even if it was true, this article is not about that.

I think pipokun is a little upset about something. I think he is in the Issues mode at the moment, hehe. Be on guard, Maciamo, for the sacred four seasons must be reclaimed to the Japanese nation at all cost !!!

Pipokun, your kitty chatora is so adorable !! Does the name mean tea-leaf coloured tiger ?
