Yamagishi Association - Yamagishi Association

Japanese: 山岸会 - やまぎしかい

The association was founded in 1953 with the aim of spreading the spirit underlying the poultry farming method created by Yamagishi Miyozo (1901-61) and realizing a happy society. Its basic creed is a life of ownership-free unity, and members are required to pledge to donate all their assets to the association. To put this Yamagishism into practice, the association started by establishing a communal poultry farm in Iga Town, Mie Prefecture in 1958, and after several twists and turns, has grown to have dozens of communities across the country. The association works with the general public by providing organic produce, mainly poultry farming, and by holding special training sessions to help interested people master the ideals of the association.

山岸巳代蔵 (1901～61) が編出した養鶏法の根本にある精神を広め，幸福な社会の実現を目指す目的で 1953年に結成された社団法人。その基本信条は無所有一体の生活にあり，会員となるには一切の財産を会に供出する誓約が求められる。このヤマギシズムを実践するため，58年三重県の伊賀町に共同生活の養鶏場をつくったのを手始めに，幾度かの曲折を経て，全国に数十ヵ所の共同体をもつにいたった。養鶏を中心にした有機農法による生産物の供給や，関心をもつ者に会の理想を体得させるための特別講習研鑽会を通じて，一般社会に働きかけている。
