Free People's Movement の One つの Out of the Point

Original Text

It is the home of a political association created by Taisuke Itagaki and others aiming for freedom and human rights. I was deeply moved that associations were formed nationwide from here and Japan began to move. On the other hand, I was grieved by the recent neglect of the constitution and the low voter turnout as usual.

The place where Rishisha was located is now Kochi City Central Park, but it was based on the site of the old town hall in Obiya Town. The discussions for the relief of warrior classes were the pioneers of the political talks, including freely discussing important political, social and economic topics. Kenkichi Kataoka was appointed president of Rishisha, and it is said that the number of employees reached 1,000.After the establishment of Rishisha, associations have been established in each region.
