Claude seems to be really into japanese customs.

I guess Japan had become a safe default of an exotic foreign world in a lot of contexts, thanks to it requiring no audience profiling. Usually there are nobody from Japan around, and Japan is usually not so deeply involved in global politics, yet it's a country with global population share of >1% with plenty of topics to explore.

I take a break from coding to browse HN, and, lo and behold, I'm greeted with some more Claude.
