This paper examines the writings of the Japanese Intelligentsia on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution appearing in the academic forum of journals during the initial 3 years (1966-69) of the Revolution. The Japanese Intelligentsia, because of their feelings of guilt due to the Second Sino-Japanese war, their disillusionment with Russian socialism, and their anti-American and anti-structuralism feeling, were strongly drawn to the Cultural Revolution, viewing it as "a democratic movement to further consolidate the socialist revolution". Therefore, they considered Socialist China as a model for future Japan, resulting in analysis of China that contain a considerable amount of reference to Japan itself, which led to the misunderstanding of the true nature of the Cultural Revolution. This paper discusses the reasons why the Japanese Intelligentsia supported the Cultural Revolution and attempts to throw light on their deluded beliefs.
