Please don't flame me too hard for this ( I know you will anyway) but I feel like the Japanese marketing/export people figure the rest of the world is a bit too barbaric to appreciate the best they have to offer.
Many of the watches and knives and other high end Japanese products (Z anyone?) I buy are only available in japan, with only lower end versions available in the US market.
It is often necessary to go to Japan to buy the things I cannot get exported. (I do this now and then as I travel professionally)

That's true^^^^and they do it for good reasons.
As our population becomes more of a Walmart/Mcdonald/food stamp/welfare society, Japan & others are catering to that growing group. That's why Chinese products are dominating our markets. Making money/profit rules.
