As a Westerner with personal ties and daily exposure to Japanese culture and people I found this article interesting and, in my experience accurate in terms of cultural attitude, http://randomwire.com/why-japanese-web-design-is-so-different/. Quite interesting and challenging from a design point-of-view.
