It's possible that Japanese universities simply share the competitive publish-or-perish dynamic of Western universities and a black historical figure in feudal Japan was simply the kind of novelty that could garner attention. Which is still corrupt but it's par for the course unfortunately.
But I might just be coping here, maybe Japan's elite are as treasonous as ours.

Publish or perish is why they promote 80 hour works weeks in academia. Mostly sitting in an office.
