Japanese web design: weird, but it works. Here's why

Japanese website design looks weird. But, they work just as well as other websites around the world. Why is that? I mean, they're information dense, cluttered, and some would even think they were teleported to the 1900s. Turns out, beneath the overwhelming user interface lies undeniable psychology.
