Ikutaro Shimizu, a famous sociologist and one of the opinion leaders in Japan following World War II, has written three autobiographies about his life.Shimizu was 42 years old when he wrote the first autobiography. In an ordinary sense, Shimizu was too young to write an autobiography. But at that time, Shimizu was standing at a critical turning point in his life course.
