poor literary culture brought about by not caring about works from other countries (they are so xenophobic they won't even learn english): you can't write good literature until you read good literature

Are you high? Japs are total Xenophiles (for white people), their language is littered with random English loanwords these days, it's actually bizarre to listen to Japanese and suddenly hear the random Anglicanism here and there.
They don't speak English because their education system is genuinely trash at teaching it. Like most of Asia, they stick to 1920s methods of just memorizing words and hoping for the best

Bro, since you're obviously a jaded /a/utist who gets his information from 4chan and wikipedia I'd recommend you read the Meiji Restoration wiki and what the government did to expand their culture with foreign art and life styles.

Japanese books are influential IN JAPAN.

Who gives a fuck if the rest of the world isn't copying Japanese literature, I'd rather have them doing their own thing rather than just doing their part in further muddying the global cesspool.

And they clearly need to stay on their little island. The most influential Japanese expat authors were Nicholas Eijirou von Coudenhove-Kalergi and Francis Fukuyama, and just look at the globalist shitbags they've become.

This. South Korea is what happens when you let the west flood through the gates - disastrous consequences to all culture, as exemplified by their music.

Both Japan and South Korea immensely take from the west in terms of literature, animation and music. just as an example they wouldn't have anime if it weren't for Walt Disney
