This ePaper explores the endeavours and motivations of the leading figures of
the Japanese Red Cross Society, which forms the streams of the Red Cross
Movement that get overshadowed in the Eurocentric narrative of its history.
Using various primary sources from archives and studying the historical
context of the time, the paper highlights how the main protagonists with
similar backgrounds to the founders of the International Committee of the Red
Cross proactively sought to establish and develop the movement both at the
national and international level from 1867 to 1919. Moreover, a close
examination of their backgrounds as well as their thoughts as expressed in
their writings suggests that their motivations to engage in Red Cross work
were multiple and in part, if not entirely, shaped by various needs to fulfil
their own desire and sense of obligation. We extend our heartfelt thanks to
the Vahabzadeh Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best
works by young researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to
those who have been awarded academic prizes for their master’s dissertations.
