Is this what we call "tough love", or is it something more intimate?

Probably both. You would need to read some other stuff if you want to study these aspects. I would recommend Gregory Plugfelder's
Cartographies of Desire, Mikiso Hane's
Peasants, Rebels, Women and Outcasts,
The Love of the Samurai, by Tsuneo Watanabe and Jun'ichi Iwata, and a collection of essays with the title of
Men and Masculinities in Contemporary Japan.
Best wishes,
