It?s the country of Buddhist Zen masters, who were wise and spiritual, symbols of moderation and morality. At the same time, it?s the culture of geishas, who represented indulgence, entertainment, and corporeal desires.

All in all, Japan seems to be a country of paradoxes and oppositions, of yin and yang.
