I'm not sure I'd call it an "alliance": more of an absorbtion of the Korean dynasty.

Europeans tilt the head where Japanese don't, but keep it straight. So the western bow looks to be too low from the view of those used to the Japanese way of bowing. Maybe the problem is in the height of president. I only want to draw the attention to everyone that the bow in the western and eastern cultures is different. Europeans tilt the head
