Kagawa Toyohiko advanced his pacifist ideas in the period between World War I and II as the following shows: 1. He pursued peace with a long-term vision. 2. He believed in human reason. At the same time, he believed that people's consciousness must be advanced by education. 3. He always connected his ideas of pacifism to economics. He advocated the reform of the League of Nations and the construction of cooperative worldwide trade system, that is, "Brotherhood Economics". These Kagawa's ideas are integrated into the movement of "Kami no Kuni" (the Kingdom of God) which he aimed to construct finally. Kagawa met Nitobe for the first time at the office of the LN in Geneva in 1925. Later they worked together to establish the Tokyo Medical Cooperative Society. The spirit of their movements was based on nation-wide cooperation that they fostered to build the ideal society by appealing to people's conscious awareness. Their spirit came out in the movement of the reform of the Japan economy and people's consciousness at the beginning of the Showa Era.
