Abstract

Chapter 7 joins Rusch after he retired from the army, having arrived in the United States to begin his nationwide fund-raising tour for Seisen-Ryo. Rusch envisioned a rural life training center, and by that time Communism was seen as an increasing threat by American citizens, a development that favored Rusch’s attempts to raise money on the theory that Rusch’s enterprise could help teach the Japanese “Christian democracy.” Rusch often asserted that the Japanese would accept Western values, such as democracy and Christianity, if they were “wrapped in a kimono.” Part of Rusch’s initiative was to teach the Japanese Western methods of agriculture, including the introduction of a dairy farming to highland Japan. Toward that end, Rusch made an effort to send both dairy and beef cattle to Kiyosato, with some humorous results. Though Rusch received the support of the Episcopal Church in the beginning, after a while Rusch’s connections to the church waned as he tried to appeal to a broader audience. Because of his efforts to build youths’ interest in farming through a kind of 4-H program, Seisen-Ryo hosted the first county fair, a regional festival that became an enduring trademark of the lodge and the region.
第七章讲述了拉什从军队退役后的故事,他来到美国,开始为震良进行全国筹款之旅。拉什设想了一个农村生活培训中心,当时共产主义被美国公民视为日益严重的威胁,这一发展有利于拉什筹集资金的尝试,因为拉什的企业可以帮助教导日本的“基督教民主”。Rusch经常断言,日本人会接受西方的价值观,比如民主和基督教,如果他们“裹在和服里”的话。Rusch的一部分倡议是向日本传授西方农业方法,包括向日本高地引入奶牛养殖。为了达到这个目的,拉什努力把奶牛和肉牛都送到清佐藤,结果有些滑稽。虽然Rusch一开始得到了圣公会的支持,但一段时间后,Rusch与教会的联系减弱了,因为他试图吸引更广泛的受众。由于他努力通过一种4-H计划来培养年轻人对农业的兴趣,他举办了第一届县集市,这是一个地区性的节日,成为了小屋和该地区的持久标志。
