This study examines the complex relationship between communist and Marxist ideologies and democratic movements during Japan's Taishō Democracy Era (1912-1926). Through analysis of primary sources and scholarly literature, the research demonstrates how these seemingly contradictory ideological frameworks intersected to shape Japanese society and its political structures during this pivotal period. The paper explores how communist and Marxist thought, imported from the West, adapted to Japan's unique cultural and historical context while influencing labor activism and social reform movements. Particular attention is paid to key figures such as Kotoku Shusui and Sen Katayama, who helped establish the theoretical foundations for Japanese socialism. The study also investigates the complex interplay between Buddhism and Marxism, demonstrating how traditional Japanese spiritual values both complemented and conflicted with materialist ideology. The research reveals that the rise of communist and Marxist movements in Taishō Japan reflected broader global trends while maintaining distinctly Japanese characteristics. The establishment of the Japanese Communist Party in 1922 marked a significant milestone, though the party faced considerable challenges from state repression and internal ideological conflicts. The study argues that these movements, despite their ultimate suppression, left lasting impacts on Japanese society, particularly in areas of labor rights and social activism. This analysis contributes to the understanding of how foreign ideologies are adapted within specific cultural contexts and demonstrates the enduring influence of communist and Marxist thought on Japanese political and social development, even as these movements faced significant opposition and transformation.
