Kaizosha - Kaizosha

Japanese: 改造社 - かいぞうしゃ

A publishing company founded by Yamamoto Sanehiko in January 1919. The general monthly magazine Kaizo, which was launched in April of the same year, formed a progressive forum alongside Chuokoron before World War II, but ceased publication in June 1944 due to the suppression of freedom of speech at the end of the Pacific War. It was republished once again in 1946 after the war, but after a dispute that began at the end of 1954, which led to the formation of the Kaizo Non-Writing League, it ceased publication with its February 1955 issue, and Kaizosha was dissolved. Kaizosha is also famous for starting the battle for 100-yen books with its Collection of Contemporary Japanese Literature in December 1951.

山本実彦が 1919年1月創業した出版社。同年4月に創刊した総合月刊誌『改造』は，『中央公論』と並んで第2次世界大戦前の進歩的論壇を形成したが，太平洋戦争末期の言論弾圧で 44年6月に休刊。戦後 46年にいったん復刊したが，54年末からの争議で『改造』不執筆同盟がつくられたりしたあげく，55年2月号を最後に廃刊，改造社も解散した。なお改造社は，26年 12月『現代日本文学全集』で円本合戦の口火を切ったことでも有名。
