In his youth, Takezoe Shin’ichirō (1842-1917), a Meiji Japanese diplomat andSinologist who often went to China, was the first Japanese official to travel in Chinaafter the Meiji Restoration. During his journey, Takezoe contacted, communicated andformed deep friendships with many late Qing literati. When Takezoe visited China, herecorded his various travel experiences in Chinese. These writings were compiled andpublished after he returned to Japan and named San’un Kyōu Nikki. After the firstversion was published in 1879, its popularity in both China and Japan won a highreputation for the author. San’un Kyōu Nikki, Oka Senjin’s Kanko Kiyū, and YamamotoKen’s Enzan Sosui Kiyū are regarded as the three most representative Japanese travelwritings on China in Chinese. Among them, San’un Kyōu Nikki was the first to bepublished and reflected some key issues in the early stage of the Meiji Restoration whenJapanese sinologists not only crossed territorial boundaries, but also moved betweencultural China and the China they had personally experienced. San’un Kyōu Nikki involves the rise and fall of Meiji Sinology and Japanese attention to late Qing societyand economy. After all, this book remains important in the history of cultural exchangebetween China and Japan in the modern period. |
