Do Japanese women want Foreign husbands?

Here is a link to an interesting article and commentary from a guy that became briefly famous in Japan for battling in court the exclusionary policy of some hotels and spas in Japan that admit Japanese only to their establishments.

The article, which is not as interesting as the two pieces of commentary that follow it, is about the myth that Japanese women want to marry foreign men, specifically Americans and Europeans. After reading thru, you can see that out of all the marriages that took place in Japan in 2003, only 1.1% involved a Japanese woman marrying a foreign man.

His website, if you go back to the home page, also contains some interesting stuff.
