Sherif offers a groundbreaking history of the Japanese affiliate of the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF). The CCF pursued Japan because of its strategic position as a US Cold War ally. This chapter employs a range of archival materials in its analysis of three aspects of the CCF Japan journal Jiyû: the challenges for a originally transatlantic initiative in establishing an affiliate in the Pacific rim; the extent and reception of the post-1945 CIA and covert public diplomacy initiatives in Japan; and the reasons that the journal Jiyû never became a Japanese Encounter in the context of Japanese intellectual communities and media
