 note = {The child relief practices of the Meiji child relief worker Ishii Juji (1865-1914), have often been described by biographers and historians as having emerged from Western European and American social gospel and child relief movements.  While recognizing this legacy, the following article maintains that a fundamental aspect of Ishii's thoought and practice has been overlooked: what has been discounted within studies of Ishii's child relief practice is the way in which fragments of eighteenth century ethics in Japan as well as a revolutionary model of social action rooted in the bakumatsu and post-Ishin periods continued to be revitalized within Ishii's greater vision of child relief.  Focusing on Ishii's journal writings from 1882 to 1887, this study examines how Ishii developed his conceptual orientaion within a discursive space that gave him access to a vast range of late Tokugawa and early Meiji theories and critiques regarding compassion, poverty, and the potency of youth.},
