Reference excerpt

Musansha Shinbun (Japanese: 無産者新聞; Proletarian News) was one of the newspapers which were affiliated with the Japanese Communist Party. The paper was in circulation between 1925 and 1929.

History and profile Musansha Shinbun was launched in Tokyo in 1925. The first issue appeared in September that year and was started as a biweekly publication. The paper published news based on a working class perspective. From January 1926 the frequency of Musansha Shinbun was switched to weekly, and it was later published six times per month. In 1928 its circulation was reported to be 35,000 copies. Musansha Shinbun was subject to frequent bans during its lifetime. It ceased publication in August 1929 when it was banned. The paper was succeeded by Daini Musansha Shinbun (Japanese: Second Proletarian News).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Musansha Shinbun

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Musansha Shinbun claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Musansha Shinbun before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Musansha Shinbun ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Musansha Shinbun

In research: Musansha Shinbun appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Musansha Shinbun in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Musansha Shinbun is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1925 establishments in Japan, 1929 disestablishments in Japan, Banned newspapers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Musansha Shinbun outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
