Thanks for posting that. Nikon is anti-gun and they bend over for any anti hunters and do not support shooting sports where they make their money. There is not much of a hunting culture in Japan.
There may not be much hunting "culture" in Japan, but their culture sure enjoys unique cuisine. I started hunting in early 90's and one of my colleagues was japanese. When I told him where I was heading for weekend, he quickly perked up "You going hunting? For deer? Male deer? If you get male deer, can you bring back deer pee pee for me?" I thought Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Turns out apparently the male deer sexual organ (like many other odd wildlife items) was considered an aphrodisiac. He was not interested in the rocky mountain oysters, just the deer pee pee.
So, while it maybe not much of a hunting culture, they do appreciate the fruits of the harvest from hunting.
