Everything is stunning and exceptional because Japanese is a unique culture, there are no limits to imagination, everything has a free and unconventional interpretation of a past Japanese Era or the detailed reflection of the Japanese present. This moves Japanese culture and the audience, because Japanese are different people from any point of view.
