It also delves into Kagawa's personal life, including his marriage to a fellow activist and his struggles with illness and depression.Overall, Kagawa of Japan offers a comprehensive portrait of a complex and influential figure in Japanese history, shedding light on the intersection of religion, politics, and social justice in early 20th century Japan.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
