Exotic Western-Style Houses in Japanese Media
The fascination with Western-style houses in Japanese media is indeed intriguing. It's possible that the exotic mystique stems from the cultural contrast between traditional Japanese architecture and the modern, foreign designs.
Some examples that come to mind include the anime series Cardcaptor Sakura, where the main character's family lives in a beautiful Western-style house, and Ouran High School Host Club, which features a grand, Western-style mansion as the setting for the host club.
The depiction of Western-style houses in Japanese media often serves as a symbol of wealth, luxury, and modernity, which may contribute to their exotic appeal.
