He then founded the "Jute Mallow Promotion Association", which analyzed the plant and found it to be highly nutritious. Over the next seven years, the association conducted cultivation trials and tasting events across Japan to promote the plant. From the 1980s onward, jute mallow quickly gained widespread recognition, which was partially attributed to the growing health and wellness trend.
