When the Chief Executive of Manchukuo (established on March 1st, 1932) Puyi learned that he was going to be crowned Emperor on March 1st, 1934, with the new reign title of Kangde (Wade-Giles: Kang-te; 康德), he insisted tenaciously to wear the "dragon robe" passed down from the Guangxu Emperor during the ceremony in order to show the restoration of the Qing dynasty. But the Commander of the Japanese Guandong Army rudely directed him to wear the Western-style military uniform in order to declare the birth of a new empire. In a compromise, both rituals were performed. Based on Puyi's autobiography, Yamamuro Shinichi's critical analysis, and Naitō Konan's article in the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun newspaper dated January 21, 1934, and his letter to Prime Minister Saitō Makoto dated March 25, 1934, the present research note reexamines the controversial historical event and the concerns of Naitō Konan as a prominent historian of Manchuria and an opinion leader on the affairs of Manchukuo.本稿は科学研究費補助プロジェクト(基盤研究B)「大正期日本の中国研究と第一次世界大戦前後の世界 : 内藤文庫所蔵資料を中心に」(代表:陶徳民)による研究成果の一部である。
