An Afternoon Column from Japanese Modern Samurai: Is It Unique to Japanese?

Hi, everyone in the world!! How are you doing? It is 5:47 pm here in Japan.

Surfing on internet in Japanese website, I found an interesting article that said, "There are many people (Japanese) who do not buy products from the affiliated links."

It seems that many of them tend to buy the products not entering the shopping sites from the links on blogs intentionally though they came to know the items on the websites.

The article said that it may be because of kind of jealousy thinking that they do not want the owner of the blogs to earn money…

It seems ridiculous, but I can slightly understand as a Japanese. I mean that I know the personality of Japanese (I don't like the village mind, though). It can be seen in a proverb, "The nail that sticks out gets banged down."

Yep, it may be one of the reasons why I feel more free and comfortable on ebay, and the open-mindedness will encourage the creativity.



Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!

P.S. I am listing my debut volume, "Falling Japan ~On The Verge of Bankruptcy and Destruction" on ebay. Please take a look at the auction page.
