The Yūshinkai (Japanese: 又新会, lit. Society for Rebirth) was a political party in Japan.

History

The party was established on 21 December 1908 by merger of the Yūkōkai and several independent MPs.[1] The party had few coherent policies except being anti-corruption, and co-operated with Kensei Hontō in opposing the Rikken Seiyūkai.[1] In March 1910 over half its 45 members left to join the new Rikken Kokumintō, and in December 1910 the party was disbanded, with its 18 remaining MPs sitting as independents.[1]
