does made in Japan bother you?
I really don't care for Chinese made products. Sure some are fine products, but personally I like MADE IN THE USA when i can buy it. But i don't mind made in japan, and certain things made in europe? what is wrong here? is it being hypocritical?

I have a few SLR's from the early 80s made in Japan (canon) that work like new still. I also have a new panasonic camera made in japan that is amazing. And a couple Yahama acoustic guitars from the 90s that where made in Japan, and not very expensive, that rival the sound quality of my 1500 dollar Martin made in the good OLE USA

but CHINA SUCKS, their guitars suck LOL

Re: does made in Japan bother you?
some sony stuff is still made in japan and imported here. If you live in japan though, most sony products are made there..we get outsourced versions.

My Bravia tv from Sony is fucking assembled in Mexico lol. With parts from japan.

the very highest end OLED and other TVs from sony imported are made in japan though. Along with the prius hybrid. It was pretty much the only Toyota car that is still sent on a boat from Japan. The rest like the camry are made here, with engine and trans, etc from japan.

If it's made in Japan it's likely one of the best made products you will ever own. Having seen first hand their manufacturing processes, I can assure you they are to top of the game for sure.

Japan basically makes the highest quality products across the board.

Too many old folks are thinking of Japanese products pre, during, and directly after the war.

Quality skyrocketed the decades since.

Re: does made in Japan bother you?
Generally if people want made in japan, they want quality.

In japan, hand made stuff is still a massive thing, and people used to understand hand made things were different then mass produced stuff.

If a person is happy, and feels good making something, generally they will make it better then a person who hates there job, and just there for money.

The energy of hand made stuff is what people are paying for when buying hand made, as whether people like it or not, humans are capable of putting energy into there creations, and thats why people historically paid more for hand made stuff.

Thats why people will spend more on japanese stuff, as hand made stuff is still big there, and those people still believe in it.

Thats why alot of junk made today does not last, and alot of stuff made years ago by hand has lasted all this time.

I doubt alot of stuff today, you can refurbish in 50 years time.

But many things made by hand 100 years ago, people can today refurbish, as it was made by hand, and the energy people put into it, contributed to that.

Thats why people are willing to pay extra for hand made stuff, and japanese people still have those traditions, and beliefs.
