Exactly my point, a product doesnt have to be manufactured in Japan to be of a good quality.
Team C - China
Apple - China
HTC - Taiwan
Samsung - Taiwan
Garmin - Taiwan
These are just off the top of my head examples of premium quality products being manufactured in lower cost geographies.
I think we have probably done this to the death now, but my point remains that maybe the Japanese should entrust some of the production of their products to their near neighbours. They could maintain the same production standards and reduce their costs. Savings which could be fed down the food chain which would in turn make their product more appealing to the wider market.
