More World Heritage sites for Japan? Why?

Jomon Era sites picked for possible World Heritage designation

A Japanese tactic.

When World Heritage sites are sprinkled all over Japan, Japan cannot be attacked, because destroying World Heritage sites is a war crime.

And when you cannot be attacked, you usually become a bit bolder in the way you do things.

The human race has a long heritage, spread all over the world. Don't let World Heritage sites be unevenly distributed just because of a nation's proactiveness in seeking such recognition. It could be seeking recognition for other purposes than to preserve heritage.
