in which journalist Scott Anderson writes that the founding conference of the Unification Church in Japan was held at Motosu Lake in Yamanashi. Ryoichi Sasakawa actively invited the Unification Church to Japan. At that Yamanashi conference were

Yoshio Fuji (Chairman of Tokyo Competition), and

Tameo Shirai (Youth Lecture), 

Yukihiro Yamashita (Amaterasu Gidan)

Tokio Hata (Association for Protecting the Lives of Ordinary People), 

Tokusaburo Ichikura (Sakimori)

The first meeting was held on the evening of July 15 and the morning of July 16 in the conference room of the Water Sports Center at the Motosu Health and Welfare Facility.

The Japanese delegation, including Chairman Sasakawa, Yoshio Fuji (Chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition), Tameo Shirai (Youth Lecturer), Yukihiro Yamashita (Amateru Gidan), Tokio Hata (Association for the Protection of People's Lives), and Tokusaburo Ichikura (Sakimori), exchanged opinions on the actual situation of the anti-communist movement in Korea, an analysis of the current situation, and future methods for the movement. As a result, the liberal camps in Asia must join hands to develop a strong anti-communist movement in the future.

We came to the conclusion that the 1970 crisis was not a crisis of Japan alone.

Mr. Moon, from the Korean side, strongly requested that Chairman Sasakawa, given his strong reputation throughout Asia, play a central role in the movement, and it was decided to invite representatives from Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and other countries to a second preparatory meeting this fall to make a decision.
