抄録	This study aims to highlight the limitations of feminist research on motherhood, which until now has only focused on the negative aspects. Using the anti-war/peace movements, the “Mothers’ Convention in Japan” (“Mothers’ Convention”) and “Action of Moms Opposing Security-Related Laws” (“Moms Against War”),” I take a care-focused feminist perspective to discuss the role of motherhood in women’s empowerment and promotion of political participation. I analyze the role of motherhood that has emphasized in newspaper articles and speeches on the Mothers’ Convention and Moms Against War. In the Mothers’ Convention of the 1950s and ‘60s, the term “mother” symbolized maternal attributes and functioned as an intermediary to unite mothers. However, articles from that period described the movement as pure and nonpolitical. In the Moms Against War movement of 2015, “mom” was often used for the mothers who participated in politics by playing ordinary roles and speaking about their everyday experiences. Such narratives are also refl ected in newspaper articles. This analysis clarifi es the representation of motherhood in both movements, its different meanings, and diverse expressions and how it functions as an agent of encouraging participation in each context. In Moms Against War, the ordinary roles of being mother, which have traditionally been regarded as nonpolitical, became the grounds for being political. At the Mothers’ Convention, the representation of motherhood encouraged women to become political, although outsiders thought the representation of motherhood should be kept separate from politics.
