This is because, I think, the #philosophical backing exists in the EN-speaking cultural/societal framework (namely, methinks, this direct relationship between an individual and god/higher being).

The worldview that form the backbone of JP-speaking world is more societally multi-contextual. (I'm not a sociologist so I'm winging this as I go along.) This is to say, one's existence is defined by where one sits in the societal (feudal) hierarchy.

Obviously this is simplifying a lot, but
