After having some ideological disputes (among others about the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, he siding with the Japanese Communist Party views) with other executives of the Society at a conference in 1964, and after his relations soured with Teruo Takei, the de facto leader of the Society, and the people around him, he was expelled from the Society of the Literature of the New Japan.
