In the 1936 paper "Advocating the Cooperative Organization of Insurance Systems," it was argued that "life insurance is managed by capitalist profit-oriented insurers and does not serve the interests of the working masses. Not only life insurance, but insurance in general should be fundamentally mutualistic, and all insurance should be organized cooperatively." Despite interruptions to activities due to war and other circumstances, we steadfastly advanced toward realizing mutual aid enterprises through cooperatives.
When the Agricultural Cooperative Law was enacted in 1947, establishing agricultural cooperatives and allowing them to conduct mutual aid enterprises, Kagawa traveled across the country on his own to advocate the necessity of cooperatives conducting mutual aid. This elicited support and inspiration in various regions, leading to the initiation of mutual aid enterprises nationwide, laying the foundation for today's JA Mutual Insurance.
