After this, informationin the form of written rumours entered Nagasaki. Naturally, much of this informationconcerned Taiwan; however, as of yet, there is no research that focuses upon the uniquegeography and customs of Taiwan. During the Edo period, the Japanese awareness ofTaiwan was formed by Tei Seikō’s [Zhèng Chénggōng 鄭成功] accounts; however, for thisargument, it is necessary make a distinction between governmental awareness andpopular awareness. This paper attempts to determine the accuracy of information inmaterials compiled by the Edo bakufu and how faithfully they represent the actualcondition of Taiwan. This will then be contrasted with Chinese records. Also, acomparison and investigation of the information on Taiwan contained in Edo-periodpublications and the information on Taiwan in the materials compiled by the Edo bakufuwill provide insights into the formation of the Edo-period populace’s awareness ofTaiwan.
