In 1924 (Taisho 13), the limited liability Karita Symbiosis Farm Credit Union was established, and farming was carried out in the spirit of "mutual aid" that Takeo wanted. However, in 1949 (Showa 24), the land was subject to agricultural land reform by the occupying forces, and the farms were dissolved, and the farmland became private property according to their respective shares. Later, the "Arishima Thanksgiving Association" was established to repay the favor of the former owner, and preserved and exhibited materials on Takero and the former farm at the former farm office. However, in May 1957, a fire caused by an accidental fire destroyed this memorial hall along with the former farm office. Fortunately, most of the collection was safely removed, and in July 1963, a reconstruction movement was launched, led by the Arishima Thanksgiving Party. The storey Arishima Takeo Memorial Museum was rebuilt. Eventually, due to management problems and the deterioration of the hall, a new memorial hall was built by the town to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Takeo Arishima's birth, and the collection of farm materials preserved by the Arishima Gratitude Association was restored.
