What makes them Japanese? I don't recall seeing them here, but I've never paid much attention to sawhorses since I've been renting (until next month!).

Well it’s how it has two legs going straight up and down, vs 4 legs which are angled. Idk I’ve never been to Japan (must be nice!!) but that seems to be the difference

They look somewhat similar in design to the Japanese planing beam inspired sawhorses made by Len Cullum. FWW has a bit write up on it here:
