Hideout - Ajito

Japanese: アジト - あじと
Hideout - Ajito

A secret leadership headquarters for illegal activities and hideouts for its activists. The word is derived from the English agitation point or agitation station and the Russian агитпункт/agitpunkt, and became established as the socialist movement became more active during the Taisho period. Agitation refers to rousing the masses to action by appealing to emotion rather than reason.
