July 15, 1922 - ▲The Japanese Communist Party is founded. (timeline)
※
The day is May 21 in the Japanese calendar, and is the 749th anniversary of the birth of Shinran, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu Pure Land Sect of Buddhism (May 21 in 1173 in the Gregorian calendar). Shinran dies in 1922 in the Japanese Koki calendar.
So, it is highly probabble that the Japanese Communist Party is founded in accordance with the combination of the birthday and deathday of Shinran.
The communist party is probably an organization which a sect of Japanese Buddhism created and the communism is merely nominal. Probably the real purpose of this party is to deter the creation of a real anti-government organization.
