Hatta Shūzō

Hatta Shūzō (八太 舟三, 1886-1934) was a Japanese anarchist, founder of the "pure anarchism" school of thought. He was born in the town Tsu of Mie Prefecture, and lost his parents when he was a child. He was a leading figure of the anarchist movement in Japan. He not only translated the works of prominent anarchist European thinkers, he also advanced their theories.[1] He was a fierce opponent of capitalism and syndicalism. He graduated in 1912 from Kōbe Shin Gakkō (Kōbe Theological School) with a degree in theology and was employed as a Presbyterian clergyman in a succession of provincial churches between 1912–24.[2]
