Hibbard, who was a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and the first president of Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts. In the course of my reading, I realized that during Japan’s postwar reconstruction period she held a number of meetings in Japanese about democracy and American life.
Hibbard returned to Japan in fall 1946 after five-year stay in the States necessitated by the war. As soon as she reached Kyoto, she picked where she had left off, resuming her college teaching as well as teaching at the girls’ high school and reestablishing her English Bible class at Doshisha Church. Finding the Japanese in dire need, she urgently asked her parents and American supporters to send relief goods including food, clothes, daily essentials and delivered them herself. She was appointed to be chairman of the Japan Branch of the American Board in January 1947. She also took a position as a board member of Kyoto YWCA in charge of the hostel department.
In addition to these hard jobs, she traveled in Kyoto and the surrounding area to make speeches in Japanese about what democracy is and how American people live, in responses to requests by the Japanese. She even made a radio broadcast answering questions about American culture in Japanese. She wrote to her supporters in March 1947, saying “The phase of my work which I scarcely anticipated was the demand for talks in Japanese on American life. If I had foreseen it, I should certainly have gathered more specific data for talks on educational methods, women’s societies, current literature and home life.”
What made Hibbard take on these jobs? How did she conduct them? This paper will investigate possible reasons for her tireless dedication and describe what she talked about and how Japanese audiences responded., 論文},
