He has also been described as a Dadaist, nihilist, Epicurean, shakuhachi musician, actor, feminist, and bohemian.
He translated Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own and Cesare Lombroso's The Man of Genius into Japanese. Tokyo-born Tsuji Jun sought escape in literature from a childhood he described as "nothing but destitution, hardship, and a series of traumatizing difficulties".
He became interested in the works of Tolstoy, Kotoku Shusui's socialist anarchism, and the literature of Oscar Wilde and Voltaire, among many others.
Later, in 1920 Tsuji was introduced to Dada and became a self-proclaimed first Dadaist of Japan, a title also claimed by Tsuji's contemporary, Shinkichi Takahashi.
Tsuji became a fervent proponent of Stirnerite egoist anarchism, which would become a point of contention between himself and Takahashi.
He wrote one of the prologues for famed feminist poet Hayashi Fumiko's 1929 (I Saw a Pale Horse (??????, Ao Uma wo Mitari) and was active in the radical artistic circles of his time.
