The propagation of Mormonism in Japan began in 1901, at which time religious issues were a hot topic of conversation. The “polygamy” doctrine of Mormonism caused a great deal of mass alarm and opposition in newspapers and magazines as well as in the literary media, which played an active role in linking Mormonism with such immoral notions as “debauchery” and “carnal desires.” Also present in the literary media were frequent discourses associating Mormonism with Nietzschean philosophy, which dominated the literary debates of the time. This was because Mormonism was perceived to be inseparable from “carnal desires” due to its doctrine of polygamy. It also coincided with Nietzsche’s philosophy, which was in turn linked to the “instinctualism” of Takayama Chogyu’s Biteki Seikatsu wo Ronzu (aesthetic life theory,1901) that presented the “satisfaction of sexual desires” as the supreme happiness in human life. The common denominator between Mormonism and Nietzscheism can be found in the fact that both were seen as “Drastic Medicine” that warned against existing ideas and religions and encouraged innovation and awakening. In the discursive space of this era, there were frequent complaints of ideological confusion, religious stagnation, and corruption of morality. Mormonism and Nietzscheism were thought to have the potential to function as oppositional forces that would trigger innovation. This must have reflected the zeitgeist, in which a dialectic on new ideas and religion was actively sought in the midst of inter-religious conflict and philosophical confusion.
