"The archipelago structure, as well as the structure of the buildings is definatly based off of Japan. Their hairstyles and clothes also seem Japanese."

Wrong. It is well known that Japanese architecture stems from Chinese architecture. Truly original Japanese buildings would be the wooden "huts" reminiscent of something a shaman from a tribe would live in.

And the clothing and hair styles are painfully Chinese. Just because the West encountered China when it was under the Manchu rulers, before that, we had Han culture, which is what Japan based almost everything on. The little hair ornaments are almost definetly Chinese, as well as the clothes, which are 'Hanfus' and not kimonos. Check out the original Chinese Han culture on Wiki first.
