Rich According to the Japanese

In the majority Japanese mindset, the rich are people like Italians and French.  Various pastas and croissants exemplify their food.  Japanese menus are full of syllabograms deriving from Italian and French gourmet terms.  Even "Jamón ibérico"—a Spanish ham—is a rare treat for wealthy Japanese.  Despite a past history of Portuguese near-colonization, the Japanese know less of them now, but the Castella cake, deriving from the Portuguese in the 16th century, is a popular reminder.  (There are now Japanese-Brazilian immigrants living in Japan, nevertheless.)

There are a minority of, maybe younger, Japanese, who, like me, cherish souvenirs from Amerindian, Australian Aboriginal, Polynesian, and other native cultures.  The Japanese are not monolithic.
