In the early 20th century, Japan briefly embraced party politics, labor movements, and cosmopolitan culture before militarism took over. Lucas and Luna explore the Taishō period (1912-1926), from the rise of political parties and universal male suffrage to the Rice Riots of 1918 and the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923. They discuss figures like Prime Minister Hara Takashi, the first commoner to hold that office, and the unique 'Taishō Democracy' that saw women's rights activists like Hiratsuka Raichō and the Seitōsha movement push for change. The episode also touches on the cultural flourishing of the time: modernist literature, jazz cafes, and the 'moga' (modern girl) phenomenon. But democratic experiments faced challenges: the Peace Preservation Law of 1925, growing state surveillance, and the assassination of Hara in 1921 foreshadowed the authoritarian turn to come. #TaishōDemocracy #Japan #HaraTakashi #RiceRiots1918 #GreatKantōEarthquake #Seitōsha #HiratsukaRaichō #PeacePreservationLaw #TaishōPeriod #ModernGirl #JazzAgeJapan #PartyPolitics #UniversalMaleSuffrage #History #FexingoHistory #EastAsia #20thCenturyJapan #PoliticalHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
