This paper attempts to explore the meaning of “nihon” [Japan] that postulated in Nishida’s work, Nihon bunka no mondai [The Problem of Japanese Culture]. Regarding the notion, “sekai no nihon”[Japan of the world], the concept of “nihon”does not merely convey its significance towards Nishida philosophy, but also entails philosophical connotation, particularly philosophy of history in general. Borrowing the idea of “imagined communities”given by Benedict Anderson, “nihon”as a philosophical concept is neither construed by “monokataru koto”[narration] nor “kiku koto” [hearing]. Rather, it may be considered as a sōzōsuru koto [imagination].
