In this paper, I inquire how a person comes to take an action for "peace" as the main theme. I consider the case of F, a woman who is engaged in a peace movement activity, in particular, the campaign against the U.S. bases in Okinawa, and, looking back at her history, consider how she as the wife of a clergyman came to participate in the peace activity. Her experience of accidental involvement in the Hanshin/Awaji Earthquake is narrated as an episode of her peace activity. However, F told that in her past self, she was the wife of a policeman, who excluded the homeless, and continued to reflect on it inside oneself. The self does not transfer to the new self, but rather transforms itself. The past self always keeps the current self in check. To "wear the peace activist hat" means taking action, standing alongside the "oppressed people" while at the same time confronting this other self inside oneself.
