Forced Hospitalization at Honmyōji
Forced Hospitalization at Honmyōji, also called the Honmyōji incident, was the forced hospitalization of leprosy patients living near Honmyō-ji Temple, in the western suburbs of Kumamoto, Japan on July 9, 1940. It is regarded as an incident related to the "No Leprosy Patients in Our Prefecture Movement".
==Background==
In the early part of the Meiji period, leprosy patients in Japan usually left their families, and lived near temples and shrines and begged for money, while some others lived around hot springs for treatment. The Honmyōji Temple area was a typical place of the former, while Kusatsu Hot Spring, Gunma Prefecture was that of the latter. The public leprosy policy was started in 1909 when 5 public leprosy sanatoriums opened in Japan. However, the early policy was to hospitalize wandering patients only. Around 1930, there occurred the "No Leprosy Patients in Our Prefecture Movement" and the Government intended to hospitalize all leprosy patients in sanatoriums.
There were four communities of leprosy patients around the Honmyōji Temple, which was a temple of the Nichiren Sect of Buddhism; "leprosy may result if a patient's faith was not enough", according to their sutra. Therefore, many leprosy patients gathered around the temple and prayed for improvement.
