The converted people (tenkōsha) then wrote notes in which they described the ideological and spiritual changes that occurred during their imprisonment. The change was prompted by the teachings of Buddhism, mainly Jōdo Shinshū, and the presence of chaplains (kyōkaishi) who mediated the teachings. The tenkōsha abandoned their faith in Marxism, returned to Japanese traditional familism, became devoted to the Emperor of Japan, and some started to practice agricultural fundamentalism. In this article, I will focus on a person named Kobayashi Morito (1902 -1984), who wrote about his own experience of conversion in Until He Left the Communist Party (1932) and also edited the notes of other conversion people and published them as Notes of a Converter (1933) and Thought and Life of the Converted(1935), and will analyze the stories of conversion experiences of various tenkōsha, reexamining how they accepted conversion, and at the same time focus on the contradictions and conflicts that occurred there. 2022-06-01T12:18:12Z 2022-06-01T12:18:12Z 2020 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788855182607_472 2704-5919 9788855182607 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56287 jpn Studi e saggi application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 15623.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-260-7_4 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-260-7.04 10.36253/978-88-5518-260-7.04 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855182607 220 22 Florence open access
