It is not well known that Abe Tomoji, a liberal novelist, selected and made comments on writings of the magazine which conducted by Hansen’s disease patients who were isolated in sanatoria before and throughout the war or gave lectures in sanatoria. Abe wrote novels about Hansen’s disease sanatorium and Hansen’s disease patients such as “Shosyuunoumi”, “Kamomejima”, “Hutatsunoshi” in Showa 20’s but it is not well known either. Especially, “Kamomejima” has not been mentioned in the conventional research although it is written about a doctor modeled after Ogawa Masako, an author of the propaganda novel, “Kojimanoharu” and contributed to the isolation policy under the Empire of Japan, as a model. Also it is not mentioned about the difference between the image of Ogawa which widely accepted by the society and Ogawa in reality in the conventional study of “Kojimanoharu”. Thus, it has not considered how Abe tried to revise the image of Ogawa as a holy doctor by writing “Kamomejima” in Showa 24. Therefore, in order to clarify Abe’s attempt to revise image of Ogawa by writing “Kamomejima” based on readers of “Kojimanoharu”, I considered about the difference between Ogawa in reality and image of Ogawa as holy doctor when “Kamomejima” was published by analyzing Ogawa’s letters and “Zoku Kojimanoharu”
