The life of students at Matsuda Farm was extremely regimented, with morning ceremonies held at 5:00 AM.
[3] During the workday, the practice of agriculture continued even as meals, decried for a lack of taste and luxury, were served.
Matsuda himself worked for 20 or more hours every day, and was a prolific writer who wrote fifty books.
[4] In the spring and autumn months, Matsuda made a series of lectures spanning three days, which were attended by thousands of individuals, at one point reaching 6,500 attendees.
After World War II, Matsuda was investigated by American authorities, since he belonged to the Taisei Yokusankai in 1940,[6] but he was not purged, because he presented food to the Christian women's high school, Yatsushiro Shirayuri Gakuen.
