*''Formed: [[1911]]/6/1''
*''Disbanded: 1916''
*''Japanese'': 青踏社 ''(Seitousha)''
The Seitôsha was a feminist collective founded in [[1911]] by [[Hiratsuka Raicho|Hiratsuka Raichô]], Kiuchi Teiko, Mozume Kazuko, Yasumochi Yoshiko, and Nakano Shoko. Though originally dedicated to women's poetry, under Itô Noe the group shifted to a more explicit and active involvement in the women's liberation movement.
The group was based in an office at Mozume's home in [[Komagome]], and had a large wooden plaque hung outside the rear entrance to the home, with "Seitôsha" written on it in calligraphy.
The group published a monthly gazette entitled "Seitô," with the first issue being released in September 1911. The back cover was illustrated by Naganuma Chie (who was, incidentally, married to [[Takamura Kotaro|Takamura Kôtarô]]).
The group was quite prominent and significant for a brief period, but disbanded and ceased publishing in February 1916, less than five years after its founding.
