次の英文を読んで設問に答えなさい。

Although Japan is famous around the world for its high - quality
products, until quite recently, Japan has had few cultural exports.（31）,in the past generation or so, there has been an explosion of interest inJapanese culture. Before the 1980s, outside of Japan, eating at a Japaneserestaurant was considered an exotic experience, if you were lucky enough tofind one. Now, in many parts of the world, the problem is not finding aJapanese restaurant, but rather , it is having to wait in line to get in .
（32）
, most supermarkets in Asian and Western countries have a sushi

section. In many countries, people now associate the word“Hokkaido”withhigh quality food products.
This great increase in cultural exports from Japan is not confined to“anime,”and“emoji”did notfood. A generation ago, the words“manga,”

exist in the English language. Now, not only have these words becomecommonly used in English, but their popularity has advanced to the point
where they have become part of mainstream culture.
Interestingly, these Japanese cultural exports have been absorbed into
the local overseas cultures and adapted to suit the local people’s taste. TheCalifornia sushi roll with its crab and avocado is（33）everywhere in

North America, and is one of the earliest adaptations of Japanese culture.
Although traditional Japanese may think the California roll is not realsushi , all cultures embrace ideas from abroad and then adapt them .
Japanese curry is a good example of this.
Japan’s cultural exports have most recently expanded beyond food andart forms, such as anime and manga, to the virtual and behavioral worlds.
Virtual pets like Pokémon are on the smartphones of millions around theworld. As for behavior,（34）, such as Uniqlo and Muji, are teaching

staff in their overseas branches how to treat customers in the Japanese wayof hospitality.
While it may be unlikely that a Japanese theme park conquers theworld, it seems like Japan’s culture has already had a big international
influence and will continue to grow in the future.
