Abstract
Given the complexity of postwar Japanese culture and society, it would be foolhardy to suggest that the dramatic cultural and social developments that occurred beginning in the autumn of 1945 and extending through the postwar economic miracle were the bequest of any one figure. A variety of factors influenced the remarkable changes that characterized that period. Nevertheless, Yamamoto Sanehiko’s accomplishments, beginning in 1919 with the launching of Kaiz ō and extending to his literary, entrepreneurial and political activities during the war years, seemed to at once reflect and portend some of the significant directions that Japan would follow in the postwar era.
