Abe is lecturing the Abenomics. However he should be in Bao economic forum which has larger audience.

Why haven't they updated this carpet since Mad Men was set?

Abe: "I am King Arthur. You are my followers. Abenomics is starting to fail, but please cooperate and understand."

What are they all thinking?
"I wonder what BRT stands for?"
"When's he going to shut up so that we can go home?"
"Are we getting overtime for this?"

It is not polite to serve such food in Japan. They don;t want to vomit.

Fueniture. after meeting, they take away chairs to corners. Then put large tables with short legs. Zbutons to sit. To save money. round table? Unlikely. Sit on their bended legs on a zabuton.
