Minoru Kawada (Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, Japan)
Hamaguchi Osachi is one of the most important Japanese politicians in history. He helped bring about the Japan-China Tariff Treaty,
introduced the gold standard, and concluded the London Naval Disarmament Treaty as Japanese prime minister in the early-Showa era.
This paper studies the ideas behind his domestic policy, considering the political situation around him. Specifically, it deals with
Hamaguchi’s criticism of the domestic policy of the Tanaka administration, his stimulative measures, his theory of the constitution and
social policy, and his correspondence about the political situation concerning the actions of the Seiyukai and the Minseito, etc. These
are part of the study of Hamaguchi’s political ideas and the political environment at that time.
