Is Arata's lack of responsiveness a result of cultural differences or
personal differences?

In other words, is there a "Japanese way" of criticising?

Arata is the most un-Japanese person I know. He is the antithesis of 
the typical Japanese personality type beloved of anthropology 
textbook writers. Heck, I am more Japanese than he is.

I expect he did not respond because he is very upset with me at the 
moment, for reasons so silly they are not worth mentioning.

Also, he doesn't take criticism well.
