日本人家族的臺灣經驗：以池ノ上嘉家族為例

Experiences of Japanese Families in Taiwan:Case Study of Ikenoue Kuwae Family

日治初期來到臺灣的日本人，或稍晚於日本統治上軌道後而來臺尋求發展的日本人，其第二代可能在臺灣出生成長；若該日本人家族直到1945年日本戰敗後才離開臺灣，則與臺灣的關係長達三、四十年以上。本文考察的池ノ上嘉家族正提供一個案例。池ノ上嘉（1883-1946）於1912年來臺，任職臺灣總督府專賣局，1920年辭職後進入大成火災海上保險株式會社，1940年轉而參與開洋興業株式會社。池ノ上嘉從公職轉到公司經營，其活動的具體內容為何，本文首先探討其人脈關係及經濟實力。其次，池ノ上嘉的4子與2女之中有5人為「灣生」，均接受良好的教育，成為日後發展的重要憑藉。探討池ノ上家第二代的求學歷程，有助於豐富臺灣教育史的研究。再者，了解池ノ上家族的戰爭經驗，以及戰後從臺灣返回日本重新建立生活基礎的過程，更可以深化吾人對戰時下的臺灣，以及戰後臺日關係史的認識。

Migrants from Japan who moved to Taiwan during early Japanese colonization or came to seek opportunities under more stable colonial rule might have offspring born or grown up in Taiwan. Those who remained until Japan surrendered in 1945, ending World War II (WWII), would have three to four decades of experiences in Taiwan. This study traces the history of the Ikenoue Kuwae family as an example. Ikenoue Kuwae (1883-1946) moved to Taiwan in 1912 and held a position in the Taiwan Governor General Monopoly Bureau. After resigning in 1920, he worked at Taisei Fire and Marine Insurance Company. In 1940, he joined the Kaiyokogyo Company. This study discusses the changes in his job description from a public officer to a private company employee, with focus on his personal connections and financial strength. Among the four sons and two daughters of the second-generation Ikenoue family, five were born in Taiwan. They all received higher education, which played a key role in their future development. By detailing the academic achievements of the second-generation Ikenoue family, this study enriches the research on Taiwan’s education history. Furthermore, the history of the Ikenoue family during the war and after their return to Japan to rebuild their lives after WWII can enhance our understanding of the relationship between Taiwan and Japan during and after WWII.
