Have you ever heard of the “Japan Loving Wives Association? It is an organization of men who love their wives very much, and has designated January 31st (sai) as “Aisiwives’ Day” in reference to the word “Aisai” (loving wife).

Japanese men are very shy from a global perspective. So, the Japan Wife Lovers Association asked itself, “Where is the best place to express our love to our wives without being shy? –Yes, let’s shout out our love in the center of a cabbage field! We started our activities with a very simple entrance: “Let’s shout our love in the center of a cabbage patch!

Ryuta Kosuge, 47, deputy secretary general of the Japan Wives’ Association (hereafter referred to as “the Association”), laughs as he explains that since its establishment in 2004, the Association has been developing a nationwide project that parodies the title of the movie “Crying Out Love in the Center of a Cabbage Patch” (hereafter referred to as “Cabbage Choo”).

The “Japan Wives’ Association,” which was featured on the U.S. news program “CNN,” was established to promote the “loving wife” lifestyle. The association is now accepting applications for participation in “Cabbage Chew,” which is held every year from August to September!

Why “cabbage”?

Tsumagoi Village, located on the western edge of Gunma Prefecture, is the headquarters of the association. Tsumagoi Village, located at the western edge of Gunma Prefecture, is the headquarter of the association and is the largest exporter of summer and autumn cabbages in Japan. However, there were few tourists and the village was not very active. I looked up the origin of the village name and found a nice story about “a village in love with its wife. The association’s secretary general said to me, “Why don’t you do a ‘Cabbage Chew’? When I tried “Cavetu,” the media picked it up as an unusual project, and it spread quickly.

One day, a single male reporter who came to the village to cover the event shouted out his love for his wife, and another female reporter who was watching actually fell in love with him at first sight and went out with him. Nowadays, a “dedicated shouting stand” has been set up just for shouting love, and a road sign “Aisai no Oka” (hill of loving wives) has been approved as a hotspot for love. Tourists are now stopping by the area as a popular driving spot, and I hear that it is also creating interaction with the people of the village,” said Kosuge.

Standing on the “dedicated shouting platform,” one is said to be prepared for anything. The stand has watched over many couples and married couples.
Gunma Prefecture built “Aisai no Oka” (Hill of Loving Wives) in 2008. It has become a popular driving and sightseeing spot.
