Kanpeki 完璧means perfection. That definition suits Japanese-ness more than anything else they strive for. It’s in the blood, so to speak, to always do a job well done, to give it one’s all, and to accept that although perfection is like the infinity curve, still, one’s life only has meaning when at least, effort is put in to try to reach perfection. Context is everything when you try to understand an old but living culture. If you don’t reach kanpeki, then die trying.
