Is design ingrained into Japanese culture?

Oh, come on.
First, Origami, the art of folding paper, conceptualized centuries ago.
Fast forward: consider Robo-sumo, the science of making battle robots.
And finally, Japan is the only place where there is animation produced including: Go, libraries, battle tops, and giant robots.

Is the integration of culture and design unique to Japan, or even considerably increased? And additionally, when do you believe we can "define" where it first started?

Your thoughts on this please. Cheers!

Dissertation time!

Design is integrated into human nature. And not only human nature. There are elements of design in any culture, and the rules of design or designer tastes vary from place to place. Japan is no exception to anything, and I don't think it's any more 'designer' than Russia or Swaziland.

I don't see why it wouldn't be, heck every culture does it just in different ways and in different levels of noticability. Heck look at any native culture i garuntee they will have something very close, maybe not battle robots but something design oriented.
