Why are cis straight white men obsessed with Japan?

Genuinely js asking out of curiosity bcs majority of ppl I know irl who are OVERLY obsessed with 'Japan' and 'Japanese culture' are cis, straight, white men. (I put them in quotation marks bcs their obsessed with Japan is usually a very misunderstood or fetishised version of Japan.) Like, what about their perception of Japan makes it so enticing to them?

This is coming from a hafu who looks more Asian than Arab btw so this is js from my personal experience with them
