LOVE was in the air in a Tokyo park as normally staid Japanese husbands gathered to scream out their feelings for their wives, promising gratitude and extra tight hugs.
With modesty and reticence traditionally valued over outspokenness, expressing deeper feelings like love has long been hard in Japan. That's why dozens of Japanese men gather once a year ahead of January 31, which in Japanese is a play on the words for "Beloved Wife," to let their feelings fly.
Declarations at the Tuesday event ranged from a simple "I'll love you forever" to expressions of gratitude for homemade boxed lunches.
The event is now in its fifth year.
