I’m going to venture a guess here that Japanese judges and courts abide by a very textualist interpretation of law — that is to say, they focus on the plain meaning of the text of a legal document — which is a typical feature of conservative societies (an alternative is usually purposivism, which accounts for the intent of a law).
Perhaps indicting the totality of Japan in this ruling is missing the point — and that progress in Japanese society is exhibited in other parts than the judiciary.
