Was Kamigawa's Timing Deliberate or a Concidence?

The Kamigawa block was released in the mid-2000's, at a time when Japanese animation, and Japanese culture in general, was becoming very popular in the western world.

I have stated numerous times that I believe that that timing is no coincidence, that WotC was taking advantage of that trend, but I have never asked for the opinion of other players on that subject. What does everyone else say about that? Was it deliberate, or merely a coincidence, that the Kamigawa block was released at a time when Japanese animation was becoming popular in the west?

does it matter? its been 13 years since the kamigawa block ended. not to mention the fact that even a quick google search can answer your question.
