The strict secrecy in which the attack was wrapped by the Japanese was yet another key factor.

This is because "Japanese culture" is simply a shorthand designation for the collective social, material-cultural, and symbolic behavior of those considered to be Japanese or of Japan. That "Japanese culture" is a description makes meaningless any attempt to answer the question of why it flourished or flourishes.
