Sort of. The thing is, L5R isn't about Japanese culture at all. It is simply about western perceptions of Japanese culture: a strange, artificial thing that was built up starting with the defeat of the Russian fleet and continuing through 'til today. It is purely a western myth.

I can and do take my mythology from around the world. I guess it is just disappointing to me that L5R takes no Asian myths and stories at all. The samurai game that I want is about Japan, not about Europe's insecurities.

You really don't want to see what Erick W. did with 'Mythic China', then. Look at the credits. Then ask [livejournal.com profile] denyse how she feels. And stand well back.

I have heard a tiny corner of that rant, though I'd be happy to hear the whole thing whenever she's got the *heh* time.
