POW??
Taiwan and Korea was PART of JAPAN during 1895/1910 to 1945 how could they be POWs?
Still, slavery in any case.

Korean immigrants were flocking to Japan by the millions before the war and immigration had to limit the number of Koreans coming to Japan.
Mainland chinese immigrants were coming over to Japan from the end of Edo period to flee from war and/or proverty.
Now? Situation is that Japanese look down on them.

The Japanese culture has adopted and adapted through time with a strong center core. Whather it be haiku, sado, kado, or any other heritage still thrives strong and is not some "Oriental" mythtical teaching that is handed orally since there are plenty of private schools that is willing to teach you.
By the way I thought your tradition was other than Japanese.
True, the adaption. But that's also why Japanese culture is so special. Isn't it? M tradition is half Chinese, half Japanese.
