In Tokyo's Ota Memorial Museum of Art this month, there is an exquisite exhibition of ukiyo-e woodblock prints displaying Japan during the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century, when Western habits - European music and military uniforms, crinolines - were beginning to replace the old ways.

The international eateries serve up a pan-Asian menu and aesthetic that clearly uses the Buddha more as a cultural marker than as a religious icon. Restaurant souvenirs for sale include a Buddha snow globe - not the kind of thing a member of the faithful would be likely to purchase.
