I like to think that the messed up electrical system here - 100v, 50 or 60hz - that's unique to Japan, in a small way helped the electric and electronic export industry early on.
Since it was so unique to Japan, and since you had to deal with two frequencies even inside Japan, it made creating universal appliances that could be used the world over more feasible.
Had Japan had the same system as, say, US, it would have been easy for companies to aim at just that market.
