The creator focused on her target audience of Germans (where she lives) and Chinese (her ethnicity), but living in the UK, and having grown up in the US, I thought it was relevant and appropriate to expand the generalization beyond just Germans. I'm sure there are examples where the generalization does not hold true, per your examples of French vs Japanese culture. But overall, it's safe to assume for a number of western cultures and and a similar number of eastern cultures, this work of art is spot on. Thanks for the input! JD – Good point.

The blue items seem particularly German, and the red items seem particularly Chinese. If you were to look at it as, say, French and Japanese, some of them would be reversed. That said, the series is brilliant and thank you for sharing them. I’m not sure how generalized they are for Eastern/Western.
