By Chomin's biographer, Takao Goto, Misuzu Shobo The cover has minor scratches and stains, and the main body has small spots, but it is in fair condition for a used item. Yu-Packet Post Mini Chomin's writing, which was praised by Shusui Kotoku as "not only his own unique style, but also elegant and unconventional, always emitting a unique brilliance, a divine and spirited writing, like a heavenly horse galloping through the sky," was most vibrant in newspaper and magazine editorials. In 1881, Chomin, who began his career as an editorial writer for the Toyo Jiyu Shinbun, wrote in the second issue of the paper's editorial that a great undertaking could only be achieved by establishing "precise arguments" and maintaining "firm determination" without resorting to "deceptive words" and "false actions." "Before expounding the principles of freedom and civil rights, Chomin considered them essential requirements for the individual as the subject. This book's main theme is the extent to which he himself fulfilled those requirements." The image of Chomin as a "thinker" advocating for the great cause of freedom and equality is well-known. However, Chomin changed during the period after he was defeated in the first Diet in 1891 and sought a way forward in the business world. In contrast to his earlier advocacy for the complete abolition of the standing army, which he said was in line with "the principles of the common people and the essence of economics," he became an advocate for military expansion and war with Russia in the first issue of the "101" journal, the organ of the National Party he presided over. This book, through meticulous empirical evidence, for the first time reveals the whole picture of Chomin, the "journalist" who continued to fight against the autocratic government, a life full of twists and turns. Here, Chomin is resurrected in the present day as a touchstone for questioning the way of aspiration, action, and speech.
