Reply to comment by brock_lee in TIL There are more flamenco schools in Japan than Spain by Dsarkela

I think it has more to do with Japanese desire to be individual and original. They really like to adhere to different styles and cultures, flamenco is quite outstanding of a style so they probably liked that a lot to the point when they are more interés in it than the spaniards

Japanese are not who I think of when I think “individual.” There’s a whole thing about “the nail that sticks out gets hammered back down”
