How would you buff Japanese, in case you were to do so?
Not easy task, especially considering that any buff in my eyes will risk to ruin balance.
I mean, Japs are already fine in pretty much every department.
700w or 700g would be too much because Jap can send them twice. In fact all Jap cards are rounded down and rightly so.
5000 cherry stockpile is 10 bisons which is more than adequate. Again bear in mind they can send it twice.
We could perhaps test how it works a partial revert of the old Toshogu nerf. That helps Japan overall and might very well be too much but at least doesn't seem to be directly exploitable in a nasty way.
Alternatively we can try giving 250 export to the Toshogu (might revise all the Toshogu export progression for consistency). That would help in defending early aggression by enabling the besteiros or the military rickshaw a bit earlier.
