<<Some one could enlighten me?>>

.. don't know about enlightening anyone, but i will simply think out loud and see if anything comes of the effort.

<<if the currency is deflating substantially, why there is no real inflation in Japan>>

... hard to 'inflate' when one square inch of land was already valued at usd 70k, and some fruits can cost usd 1,300, and when gold flakes were sprinkled on sushi, and ...

... and so, instead, the whole world got inflated on japanese money, known as surplus savings and excess capital.

<<After all, most commodities including energy are quoted in USD and rising>>

... the degree of commodity participation in japanese economy is relatively low, when the gdp effect of some single fruit can measure a whole year's worth of average gasoline use by any one driver.

<<or are income taxes very low?>> ... japanese income tax is socialism at work and not low.

<<True at present time the US is the greatest salesman in the world including selling very successfully its currency and debt– but is all the world so gullible?>>

... not gullible, just knowingly going along to get along.

I guess.

Here's part of the picture = the BoJ is not heavily creating money, especially when compared with the longer term.
