This article is an analysis of articles about Japan's Intervention in Siberia as reported in Japanese Newspapers. At the time of Japan's Intervention in Siberia, local newspapers in Yamaguchi Prefecture contained many articles about legions dispatched from Yamaguchi. Many of the articles were letters written by soldiers and officers in Siberia. In these letters, the soldiers and officers wrote about the battles with Russia and the peoples living in Siberia. The letters from Siberia had a certain reality about them, but they introduced biased views about Russia and Russian Peoples. In Japanese Newspapers, there were many articles praising those who died in the war. These articles were of a stereotypical pattern. The author analyses this problem.
