登録推薦資料②の1924年米田富手帳に衡平社の創立の過程や創立者、旧白丁身分に対する差別事件を記録した米田富は、全国水平社創立者の一人であり、早くから被差別マイノリティ解放の国際連帯に関心を持っており、全国水平社創立年の1922年12月におこなわれた大阪朝鮮労働同盟の結成式に参加し、同月の関西朝鮮人連盟本部結成に尽力し結成総会では祝辞を述べている。
1925年に全国水平社連盟本部が大阪市に移転したことと、この年以降は水平社同人という肩書きは使用されていないこと、連盟本部の住所が、京都市上京区鷹野北町と書かれていることから、1924年までの名刺であることが分かる。
当時、名刺は紹介状として使用されていた。紹介者の尾崎行雄は、1890年の第１回衆議院議員選挙から63年間、代議士を勤め、軍国主義に反対し、「議会政治の父」と呼ばれた。尾崎が紹介しているのは、やはり代議士の武富時敏で、第二次大隈重信内閣で大蔵大臣を勤め、1924年には貴族院議員になった。いずれも政界の大物である。 |
YONEDA Tomi, who recorded how the Hyeongpyengsa was created by whom and what kind of discriminatory incidents had occurred to the former Baegjeong in his 1924 pocketbook (the nominated item 2), is one of the founders of the Zenkoku Suiheisha. Having long been interested in international solidarity for the liberation of minorities who had been discriminated against, he took part in the founding ceremony of the Osaka Federation of Korean Laborers in December 1922; he also worked hard for the creation of the Headquarters of the Kansai Korean Laborers’ League in the same month, delivering a congratulatory speech at the founding assembly.
The fact that the Headquarters of the Zenkoku Suiheisha League moved
to Osaka City in 1925, after which YONEDA did not use the title of “Member
of Suiheisha” on his business card, and that the address of the Headquarters
is indicated as “Kamigyo-ku Takanokita-machi, Kyoto City” indicates that
the business card had been used only until 1924.
In those days, business cards were used as letters of introduction. OZAKI
Yukio, the person who introduced TAKETOMI Taketoshi, had served as a member
of the House of Representatives for 63 years since 1890, when the first
House of Representatives election was held. He opposed to the militarism
and was called “the father of parliamentary government”. TAKETOMI was
also a member of the House of Representatives, having served as the Minister
of Finance in the second Cabinet of Prime Minister OKUMA Shigenobu and
become a member of the House of Peers in 1924. Both of them were prominent
figures in politics in Japan. |
