This study examines the social activities of Kujō Takeko 九條武子 （1887–1928）, a great personality in Buddhism, from the Great Kanto Earthquake to the publication of Muyūge 無憂華, and focuses on her literary works and writings. This study found that the timing of her submissions to women’s magazines coincided with the sect’s efforts to educate young women. Her articles after the Great Kanto Earthquake seemed to be particularly aimed at young women, and were written skillfully, addressing different aspects, from daily lives to religious perspectives. Furthermore, her activities were carried out in concrete ways, keeping young women in mind, such as the establishment of a women’s youth association within the sect in which she held a leadership position. Her articles and activities encourage young women of the modern era, and simultaneously, they revealed self-reflective humility and a way of life based on religious beliefs.
