William Blake, a poet of English Romanticism, artist, and engraver, is often regarded as a poet of mysticism and symbolism. Blake, however, was a social reformer, writing poems on poverty and inequality caused by the Industrial Revolution and seeking for an ideal state of society. The legacy of Blake as a social reformer was inherited by William James Linton, an engraver, and Walter Crane, an illustrator, who was apprenticed to Linton. Moreover, some of those who read social criticism in the poetry of Blake had great interest in 'A New Village' founded by MUSHAKOJI (MUSHANOKOJI) Saneatsu in Japan. For the detail of the relationship between MUSHAKOJI and Blake, see Hikari Sato, 'MUSHAKOJI (MUSHANOKOJI) Saneatsu and William Blake: Between Symbiotic Cooperation and Hierarchical Competition' (Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies, 22 (2017), pp. 23-47, in Japanese).
