Ryokufūkai (1964–65)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ryokufūkai (Japanese: 緑風会, lit. Green Breeze Society) was a political party in Japan.

History

[edit]

The party was established in the House of Councillors in March 1964 following a split in the Dai-Niin Club.[1] Its name was taken from the original Ryokufūkai which had merged into the Dōshikai in 1960, with the Dōshikai merging into Dai-Niin Club in 1962.[2]

The party was disbanded in June 1965.[1]
