A Japanese Wife

Looking for a Japanese wife?  Every since Madame Butterfly the allure of a Japanese wife has been attractive to many Western men.  However, it is difficult to find a Japanese wife on the web, because there are not very many Japanese dating sites on the web, well at least not many Japanese web sites aimed at foreign men.

Orient Brides is one good place to look, but JapanCupid is probably an even better place to look, because they have more Japanese women than any site on the web. Remember, they are an introduction agency so keep an eye out for scammers.

To some extent the lack of Japanese Mail Order Brides is perhaps because of Japan's tradition as a closed society, but it is probably also because of nation's post-World War II economic prosperity.  So, there are cultural and economic reasons why relatively few Japanese brides seek foreign husbands.

However, to some extent these traditions seem to be changing.  First, many Japanese brides like the more open traditions of the West.  Often they have traveled or gone to school in the United States or Europe and they like the higher status of women in the West.

In fact, Japanese girls that go the Untied States for college often have a very difficult time adjusting to life in Japan.  They often find the US’s open society enjoyable and relaxing and many decide to sign up on international dating sites after growing tired of trying to adjust to a country they no longer feel in tune with.

So, many well educated, high earning Japanese brides have started looking towards foreign men in recent years.

Japanese Mail Order Brides

In fact, Japanese mail order brides are almost never signing up simply because of economics.  Largely, they are signing on, because, despite the enormous economic progress of Japan, a Japanese wife is still treated largely as her husband’s property.

This theme is very strong among Japanese mail order brides.  Many are tired of the glass ceiling and the tradition of heavy drinking among Japanese men.  In fact Japanese mail order brides and Eastern European mail order brides are both often fleeing a cultural tradition of mind numbing binge drinking.  These young women simply want to be treated with respect as individuals.

Because of this a Japanese mail order bride is sometimes better educated and even wealthier than the foreign husband she eventually marries.  It isn't necessarily a common occurrence, but very few Japanese brides will enter marriage penniless.

A Japanese bride will generally bring several thousand dollars into a wedding and is more likely to be well educated than mail order brides from almost any other country.  We do not have many profiles from Japan currently listed, but we are looking to find an active partner.
