My essay in the title was published as a part of a book, Nihonjin wa Donoyouni Nihon wo Mitekitaka (How Japanese had been viewing Japan?, Yuko Tanaka (ed.), Tokyo: Kasamashoin, 2015), which was a part of the outcomes of our five years project based on this institute. A story that Ryukyuans was made disguised as Japanese was cited from a book titled Ryûkyû Neidaiki (A Chronicle of Ryûkyû), published in 1832 in the essay above without being found its origin. It turned out to be from a record of castaways from Satsuma (now Kagoshima pref.) to China in 1816, but the story seems to be extremely exaggerated in order to emphasize how Ryukyuans adored Japanese in the imagination of Japanese of the day.
