Shinkigen (新紀元, Shinjiken, "New Era") was a socialist monthly magazine, published in Tokyo, Japan, between November 1905 and November 1906. [1] [2] [3]
Shinkigen emerged after the October 1905 split in the Heiminsha. [1] [4] The first issue was published on November 10, 1905. [5] Shinkigen was the organ of the reformist socialist group, dominated by Christian social democrats. Shinkigen was edited by personalities such as Abe Isoo, Sen Katayama, Sanshiro Ishikawa, and Naoe Kinoshita. [1] [4] [6] Shinkigen argued in favour of universal suffrage and social reform (through parliamentary means). [1] The first issue of the magazine included an article by Uchimura Kanzō, which stated "Though I am not a socialist, I cannot refrain from the greatest sympathy for this gentemanly work." [5]
Shinkigen was characterized by a humanistic worldview. [1] Its conception of socialism was spiritualistic and highly individualistic. The magazine frequently featured (Christian) religious motifs, with imagery such having an angel or a shining cross depicted on the cover page or with article titles such as 'The Revolutionary Thought of Mother Mary'. The magazine did however also feature criticisms of Christianity. [7]
In February 1906 Shinkigen and the other faction that emerged from Heiminsha, the materialists, founded a political party together, the Japan Socialist Party. [4]
Like other leftwing and liberal media, Shinkigen was targeted by government repression. [8] All in all, thirteen issues of Shinkigen were published. [9] The Japan Socialist Party survived until February 1907, when it was banned by police following its first party congress. [4] [10]
In 1961, a volume containing the editions of Shinkigen were reprinted by Meiji Bunken Shiryo Kankokai. [3]
