Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Japan's student movement and the Japanese folk movement in the 1960s and 1970s from the perspective of mental and cultural history at the time. Japan's student movement developed into an academy struggle and anti-war movement, angry at the hypocrisy of all systems positively evaluated by the Japanese government, including post-war democracy and economic growth, but their struggle led to excessive violence by Red Army aimed at a global revolution. As a result, the protest fork, centered on the Zenkyoto forces, also gradually progressed to a popular fork, but after the collapse of the student movement, it flowed to singing closed and introverted individual emotions. After the war, the flow of Japanese folk music became a means of showing the cultural avitus of the Zenkyoto generation.
