Anime is the most globally recognizable arm of Japanese entertainment. Its international appeal lies not in Westernization but in its radical difference. 5. Video Games

Modern entertainment in Japan often draws directly from tradition. The spectacles of Kendo and Sumo wrestling are treated with the gravitas of religious ceremonies, yet they draw massive viewership akin to the Super Bowl. Similarly, the influence of Kabuki and Noh theater can be seen in the dramatic storytelling of modern cinema and anime. The concept of mono no aware (the pathos of things)—a sensitivity to ephemera—is a narrative thread found in everything from ancient poetry to contemporary video games.
