Yagi Akiko (1895–1983) was a Japanese anarchist writer and activist. She wrote for anarchist women's arts journals Fujin Sensen (The Women's Front) and Nyonin Geijutsu (Women's Arts) on topics including Bolshevism,[1] the commercial commodification of women,[2] and the imperial founding of Manchukuo, a puppet state that she described as a slave, having traded one imperial ruler for another.[3] Her travelogue "Letters from a Trip to Kyushu", written with Fumiko Hayashi, tells of their drinking and meeting men, as two modern women outré for the time period.[4]
