You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Nihongo|'''Sen Katayama'''|片山 潜|Katayama Sen|extra=December 26, 1859 – November 5, 1933)), born ((Nihongo|'''Yabuki Sugataro'''|藪木 菅太郎|Yabuki Sugatarō)), was an early Japanese [[Marxism|Marxist]] political activist and journalist, one of the original members of the [[American Communist Party]] and co-founder, in 1922, of the [[Japanese Communist Party]]. After 1884, he spent most of his life abroad, especially in the United States and the Soviet Union, where he was very active in the international socialist community, and after 1920, the communist community. Katayama had a weak base inside Japan, and was little known there. However, in the rest of the world, he was widely hailed as a leading spokesman for the Japanese socialist and communist movements.<ref>James C. Doherty, ''Historical Dictionary of Socialism'' (1997) pp. 140–141.</ref>

==Early life and education==
[[File:Katayama Sen 25 years old.jpg|left|thumb|Katayama at 25 years old]]
Sugataro Yabuki was the second son born to Kunizo and Kichi Yabuki in 1859 in the Hadeki district of what would later become Japan's [[Okayama Prefecture]]. He was adopted by the Katayama family at nineteen and took the name '''Sen Katayama''', becoming the Katayamas' "first son" after his birth mother was deserted by her husband. The adoption avoided Katayama's [[conscription]] and allowed him to continue his education. In his [[autobiography]], ((Nihongo||自伝|Jiden)), Katayama admitted that he was fortunate not to have been the first born in his birth family, as it saved him from some of the responsibilities that burdened some of his acquaintances.

In 1878, Katayama travelled to [[Tokyo]] to apprentice as a [[Printer (publisher)|printer]] while studying at a small [[University-preparatory school|preparatory school]], the Oka-Juku, where he formed a friendship with ((Nihongo|[[Iwasaki Kiyoshichi]]|岩崎清七)), nephew of one of the founders of [[Mitsubishi]]. Iwasaki's departure for [[Yale University]] inspired Katayama to work his way to the [[United States]], where he attended [[Maryville College]] in [[Maryville, Tennessee]] and [[Grinnell College]], from which he graduated in 1892, proceeding to the [[Andover Theological Seminary]] and then to [[Yale Divinity School]]. During this period, Katayama became a [[Christianity|Christian]] and a [[socialist]].

==Career==
[[File:Katayama Sen 1925.jpg|thumb|Katayama in 1925]]
Katayama returned to Japan in 1896 and from 1897 to 1901 edited ((Nihongo|''Labour World''|労働世界|Rōdō Sekai)), the organ of the ((Nihongo|Iron Workers' Union|鉄工組合)) and ((Nihongo|Trade Unions' Federation|労働組合期成会)) and Japan's first [[socialist party]]. He returned to America in 1903 at the urging of Iwasaki to look into [[Rice farming|rice-farming]] opportunities. During this trip he attended the [[Second International]] Socialist Congress in [[Amsterdam]] where he gained recognition for shaking hands with the Russian delegate, [[Georgi Plekhanov|G. V. Plekhanov]], in a gesture of amity between the Russian and Japanese peoples, despite the then-ongoing [[Russo-Japanese War]].  

In 1904, he attended an [[American Socialist Party]] [[Political convention|convention]] in [[Chicago]]. He settled in [[Texas]] and his main business became rice farming. When his crop failed he became employed by a Japanese restaurant owner in [[Houston]], Tsunekichi Okasaki, who bought ((convert|10202|acre|km2)) of land in Texas with the plan that Katayama farm it. In late 1905, the two borrowed $100,000 from Iwasaki to fund the rice harvest, together forming a "Nippon Kono Kabushiki-gaisha" (Japan Farming Company) to develop the project, with Katayama as managing director. However, the company quickly dissolved, reputedly over Katayama's socialist leanings, and he returned to Japan in 1907, rejoined the socialist movement, and pursued a career in [[journalism]].
[[File:1967 CPA 3562.jpg|thumb|Postage stamp issued in the USSR in 1967, with a portrait of Sen Katayama (1859-1933).]]
He was arrested and jailed for his participation in the Tokyo Streetcar Strike of 1912, and after his release he left for [[California]]. Attracted by the success of the [[October Revolution|Bolshevik Revolution]] of 1917–1918, Katayama became an active [[Communism|communist]] and an officer for the [[Communist International]]. He travelled to [[Mexico]] and later to [[Moscow]], where he was hailed as a leader of the Japanese communist movement. He remained in the [[Soviet Union]] until his death on November 5, 1933, and his ashes buried in the [[Kremlin Wall Necropolis]] in [[Red Square]].

==Personal life==
Katayama had two children by his first wife, Fude, who died in 1903, and another daughter by his second wife, Hari Tama, whom he married in 1907.
