If Japanese hated asymmetry then why was Yumi - an asymmetrical bow the choice weapon for he world famous Samurais

Generalism may help paint ourselves into nice little circles for easy digestion by our brains but let's at least give it a fight :-)

Everyone in Japan would say quality was equal to perfection, so I'd probably say nobody in Japan is a Samurai anymore who needs a bow.

So you do agree that people keep changing and at any point cannot be generalized

I don't think it's a generalization if someone did the research and everyone in Japan says that perfection = quality.

Then that would be a fact, not a generalization.
