I am hearing foreigners dislike a word of foreigner in normal, but Japanese don't dislike it. Probably it would be due to Oriental civilization, Western civilization and Silk Road.
Ceramics , Buddhism, Confucianism and law etc. came in Oriental civilization from China and Korea. There are many Japanese Culture by ourself. Rice growing different from China and Korea developed in Japanese. Japanese feel rice growing view history crisis at present because of Japanese rice's high price.
The royalty continued until 1192. From 1192 samurai got the Authority as the bourgeoisie from the royalty, but royalty remained because of the samurai. Chaotic times happened to Japan In the days of a thing of the samurai. Thanks to gun transmission from A European ship, Japanese world unification happened because of Mr. Nobunaga. The times of the samurai continued till U.S.A. pressed it for the foundation of a country, and Western civilization gradually came in Japan. The royalty returned again because of Japanese world unification except the samurai. After all, Japan became a god country in World World War II. I think a certain part of Western civilization is natural now.
