In this respect, Japan's traditional culture stands squarely at odds with modernity - and the problem will persist. The issue of hidden or falsified information strikes at such deeply rooted social attitudes that the nation may never entirely come to grips with it.

Of hertes hele and dedly woundes cure;
Thorgh me men gon unto the welle of grace,
