Japan is a country whose traditions developped out of an agricultural society and people lived in a small town together.
People were forced to work closely together on a limited amount of land.
In order to maintain this type of society, he needs of the village were more important than the needs of the individual.
The spirit of Harmony is so importnat to live in Japan.

To behave , thinking what other people are thinking.Here that is important.

That is why ,a society developped in Japan where value is placed on understanding those other people , with whom people must interact and on taking action in groups.

So here sometimes collectisme is more important than individualism.
We can not live alone, we need a lot of help by the people around us.
