"but the daily habitus of Japanese culture is less toxic than any other society I've known, and certainly a lot less so than Britain."
what part of the culture in japan?
you mean running to the train at 7am, sleeping on the train, eating at your desk, and running to the train at 10pm, sleeping on the train again, and eating more vitamin-less carbs from a kombini at home while watching mind-numbing, asinine TV? THIS is a typical japanese worker's life...
or do you mean some WESTERN idea of japanese culture?
those who've lived and worked in japan know that it's far from a healthy environment...and i don't mean those who've lived there for a few months, riding a bike around, not speaking the language and not working...
