#2I find it interesting how Japan and Germany both have a constitution that was essentially written by Americans after the second world war. But there is a big difference in civil liberties between these countries.
E.G. If the police charge you in Japan, there is very little chance not being sentenced to something (or taken hostage). Compared to Germany where you would have a much fairer trial.

#3A hundred years ago, Japan was a feudal society. Apparently, some of the old traditions live on.

#5I don't see the problem. Extended detention and repeated interrogation is normal around the world. Visit Rikers island and look at how long people are held there prior to trial (years). The focus on confessions isn't a Japanese thing. Look at how many americans/canadians/brits/auzzis agree plea deals, a form of confession. Repeated questioning isn't torture. In the USA it is true that police have to stop asking questions once you demand a lawyer, but that isn't true in Canada. The mounties can, and do, question suspects for hours. Brits who do not want to speak still have to sit through the ritual of "no comment' interviews which can last hours. Are we only talking about these Japanese cases because they involve rich people?

Japan wasn't a feudal society 100 years ago, in fact, they had beaten a western power 10 years prior.
Not to mention the 'West' just finished 4 years of blowing each other up, not very "Civilized" imo.

The feudal era in Japan is considered to have ended with the shogunate, ie the Meiji restoration (1868).

Just because something is normalised doesn't mean it's ok, I think we can both agree on that?

Aside, not relevant to the article discussed here. constitution that was essentially written by Americans I cannot speak about Japan, but that's historically false for Germany. If you look at the list of participants in the main events that drafted the West German constitution such as the Rittersturz-Konferenz [1] and the Verfassungskonvent auf Herrenchiemsee [2], then you'll see that all participants are German. Nat…
My constitutional knowledge on the German constitution is a bit rusty, but I guess you hit the nail on the head when you say: 'Naturally, the allies had to agree'.
The Allies were the ones that required these conferences and approved of the Germans that went there.
I guess the English and the French had some say, but really the big dog of the allies was the US. So I stand by my statement.
