Just going to assume 70% of the items returned as ‘England’ from Google searches and Pintrest boards were actually Wales or Scotland being misnamed by outsiders.
I assume there is likely a huge crossover between pintrest and the types of westerners who fetishise Japanese culture. (Maybe also it has hugely small user demographics outside Westerners so there’s not much reverse pushback from other cultures?)
Equally Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms and whatever are really beautiful images so I can well believe you’d get bloody loads of them everywhere.
Seems meaningless to me when used this way. Everything has an aesthetic, doesn’t it? If you’re talking about something beautiful you might say it’s ‘aesthetically pleasing’ or has ‘a beautiful aesthetic’ but used like this feels a bit like saying ‘most style countries’ – doesn’t mean anything (even if we can infer what is meant)
