Japan's Guatemala Model

Japan's imperial ambitions are long gone.  A quarter of its population is now over 65 years old.  That proportion will only increase in the future.  The population will dip.  Japan is a paradox of the young and old.  I think it has the most fertile imagination amongst nations.  From some Japanese I've encountered in the Web, I surmise that Japan wants to be a quiet, small country, much like Guatemala.  Japanese have a different vision about their future.
