Political career
[edit | edit source]Kurusu was part of the Democratic Party[2] and served as a member of the upper house.[3] He was the minister of finance in the cabinet led by Prime Minister Tetsu Katayama.[4] He also served as a minister without portfolio in the cabinet of Prime Minister Hitoshi Ashida and acted as the director of the economic planning board.[2] While serving in the office he was arrested on 30 September 1948 together with many other senior Japanese politicians due to their alleged involvement in a bribery scandal in relation to the Showa Electric Company.[5][6] The trials lasted until 1962, and Kurusu was one of three people who was found guilty and was sentenced to eight months in prison.[5]
