The toilet door lock with umbrella and item holder is an amazing design. I love practical designs like this. Yes I agree with your observation. As a receiver, it could be pleasant up to an extent. However, as the provider, it could be exhausting. Sometimes the niceties could hinder living and standing up for what you believe in. For instance, there are always social obligations when you live in Japanese community (longer term). Women, especially, have to play the role of hosts and be pleasant at all times. The avoidance of conflicts could make the general population apathetic. Personally, I think it is easier to live freely in Japan as a foreigner with little understanding of the societal obligations.
Yea, I totally agree. I think my experiences are very different as a foreigner in Japan. It's definitely a lot more freeing, knowing that I'm not expected to understand and abide by all social obligations.
