〈籾山衣洲日記〉初探：日治初期在臺日人社會與日臺交流（1898－1904）

Diary of Japanese Sinologist Momiyama Ishū

日本漢詩人籾山衣洲曾於1898年11月至1904年4月任《臺灣日日新報》記者，在此期間留下前後約5年半的私人日記。本文嘗試根據該日記史料，初步分析、建構日本人在臺北城的生活圖像，以凸顯日治初期日臺往來型態的多樣性。過去對殖民地統治者由上而下絕對統治力的強調，可能在無形中過度強化或無限擴大解釋個人從屬於社群或集團的必然性，而忽略集團內部的階級、職業差異對統治現實所造成的影響，又或是個人可遊走在數種集團之間的多向性問題。從本文對籾山衣洲詩文交流、金錢流動狀態的分析，可知日人與臺人的交流未必受限於民族差異，有時會因利益需要或重疊的社群交往，衍生出新的合作關係。籾山衣洲對臺灣日日新報社內部人事更迭的紀錄，反映該報被收編為御用報紙過程出現的脫序狀況。此外，透過日記對古亭庄地區日人生活情狀的描述，可以嗅到日人社群內部不尋常的眾聲喧嘩與隱而不見的階級性。從上述分析可以發現，統治者集團與被統治者集團之間的隔閡不是鐵板一塊，殖民體制下權力階層的結構也未必恆久不變，有時會因彼此利益所需而出現必要的犧牲、交換或重構，以便達到更大的目的或需求。這樣的過程，使權力者及權力集團結構出現短暫或斷續的縫隙與漏洞。

With reference to the diary of Japanese Sinologist Momiyama Ishū, a journalist of　Taiwan Daily News (臺灣日日新報) from 1898 to 1904, this paper tries to analyze and　reconstruct the daily life of a Japanese journalist living in the city of Taipei in the colonial　era; in particular, his social relationship with the Governor-General of Taiwan (Taiwan　Sōtokufu) and Taiwanese gentry.　Examining Momiyama Ishū's writings and financial exchanges revealed that ethnic　differences posed no hindrance to the social interaction between Japanese and Taiwanese. Instead, collaborations and business partnerships were established under mutual interests or common social networks. The personnel changes noted down in Momiyama Ishū's diary also reflected the chaotic condition when the Governor-General of Taiwan took control of Taiwan Daily News. In addition, the dairy records of Japanese's daily life in Ko-tei Sō (古亭庄) area offered a glimpse of the particular heteroglossia and hidden hierarchy inside the Japanese circle. The above analysis exposed the shifting relationship between the ruler and the ruled as well as the changing power structure under the colonial system. There were times when sacrifices, exchanges and power restructuring had to be made for the sake of mutual benefits or to achieve a greater goal or advantage. In the process of such, transient interruption to the sovereignty and vulnerability of those in power might arise.
