Japan refers to the real-world country on Earth. It was the country where Urano lived with her mother and her childhood friend Shuu before being reincarnated as Myne.
In her life as Myne, she retains many of the cultural norms she learned growing up in Japan:
- Bowing her head in apology
- Using the dogeza pose
- Using chopsticks
It takes time and effort for Myne to overcome her upbringing and learn to adapt to the new world's culture. Myne often thinks wistfully of the Japanese cuisine she had in her old life, which is hard to recreate with Ehrenfest ingredients.
