I think i have asked the same question before and many other people as well. There is a huge plot hole when comes to basic logic in the series. You would think Soul Society would be more reflective of the world as opposed to one country in one part of the world. I believe one of the bleach fan fiction sites did put forth a really interesting idea of region having their own specific Soul Society though while original I think its a bit segregated. Ultimately it seems to be the japanese cultural aspect at the basis of bleach that has led to it being so heavily japanese. I dont think kubo was thinking beyond his own experience and understanding. He incorporates things outside of japanese culture but its rudimentary at best.
