the japanese are never that smart, the greatest proof to this statement is that a racist eugenicist from AT&T labs invented the transistor and the Japanese, known as sony, applied that technology and mass produced radios.
Kago does the same thing, he took a software made by an american company (illustrator, adobe) and played with the mesh tools to make this.
